ABOUT US

Along with being an award-winning screenwriter and filmmaker, Mark Strauss has been a Business Consultant for over 25 years. With a professional focus on building organizations through communication training and certified leadership coaching, Mark has worked with some of the top brands throughout the U.S. including Whirlpool, Motorola, Disney, the NFL, and The University of Notre Dame.

Shorts on the Road is one of the highlights of Mark's career as it's an opportunity to blend his creative passion with over two-and-a-half decades of professional experience.

Tim’s acting talent is rivaled only by his abilities as an impactful producer and business professional. His years of industry relationships are a major factor in building the foundation of Shorts on the Road and our production/distribution company Route 4 Films.

Derek's extensive professional and legal experience provides a welcome balance to the creative side of the entertainment business (okay, he's a little creative, but don't tell him we told you). He has worked with organizations of all sizes to bring an experiential perspective to Shorts on the Road that allows us to build a foundation that serves everyone involved.

In an industry where creatives can oftentimes be an afterthought when it comes to the business side of things, we're grateful that Derrick allows to create a business and legal infrastructure that looks out for the best interests of filmmakers and theaters.

While being the owner of a successful manufacturing and distribution company, Zach decided to purchase the Vickers Theatre in Three Oaks, MI. This 100-year-old theatre.

When you get to know Zach, you'll understand why his photo is from a golf course.😀
