John has successfully led the vision, launch and/or expansion of five entertainment and media entities, and provided business, funding or distribution services for twenty-three studio released motion pictures, television network series and specials, with combined production costs of over $470 million and global rights earnings exceeding $4 billion.

John’s business career began as a business systems analyst with the NCR Corporation, within five years becoming a Business Systems Division Branch Manager. His early media career included being a Business Affairs VP for two successive seasons at LA-based international business, distribution and funding entities. Actively participating in the creative and business aspects of motion picture and television productions, John led four new-media companies, including direct broadcast satellite Impression Delivery Corporation acquired by CapCities and iCommunication Dynamics whose i.TV became a top 100 iPhone application. John’s season with Times-Mirror Cable/Dimension Cable Television focused on increasing its value, especially its ad-sales unit for its eventual sale to Cox Communications.

In 2018, John’s entertainment entity engaged with the companies of Jason Brents and soon thereafter with Stephen Wollweth's, to form ONEDOOR STUDIOS, now developing a slate of motion pictures and series for studios and major global distributors release, and directing the launch of the dynamically advanced global streaming service, MyStreme.

John took three-years off to write the Business of Entertainment curricula for and serve as a faculty member of BYU’s Film School and authored "The Producer's Business Handbook," a best seller in its category, now in its fourth edition.

Stephen entered the world of film production in 2010 with the development of aerial platforms before anybody knew what drones were. His innovations were featured in Scientific American magazine and many other publications for being the first person to ever fly a cinema camera on an RC platform for a high profile multi-million dollar Fox Sports Ad.

Stephen is supremely passionate about making quality productions that grip the viewer and call to action. The documentary he produced on the flood in Iligan Philippines in 2011 sparked a flood of donations from private and public accounts which ultimately led to the building of homes for 50 families. He has been director of photography and editor for feature films as well as a national television series on PBS. He has also produced a web series called “Restoring the Honor” honoring fathers of the past and telling their extraordinary stories.

Stephen has an intuition for storytelling through film that can move an audience to their core. As a producer his ultimate passion is to tell stories that preserve all that is right and true, and that makes up the core of every human: goodness, compassion, mercy, justice and faithfulness.
 

Jason’s awareness of the power of great stories to inspire and even enable their viewers and readers drove him to study epic stories from as early as he could watch and read them. He devoured all within his reach, and began considering the most dynamic telling of the greatest literature from various times and cultures into audience-overwhelming motion pictures and series.

The more he read and pondered the answers to life's most important questions (who are we? where did we come from? why are we here? and where are we going after we leave this life?), the clearer it became that these questions and answers were the core themes of the most powerfully audience-engaging stories. During his twenty year career teaching philosophy and history on multiple continents, Jason’s list of classic and contemporary literature he longed to produce grew into a passion.

Jason became a founding partner of ONEDOOR STUDIOS, and is now producing motion pictures that are powerful in entertainment value as well as stories that fill audiences with hope and longing for all that is good, beautiful, and true. He has established deep industry relationships in China, where he resided for 6 years with his family, and oversees a lively network of over 60 producers and distributors, including the likes of China Film Co. and Alibaba Pictures. He continues to use his passion for China and film to advance ONEDOOR STUDIOS’ mission.
