#SkydanceSpotlight: Brad Carlson, EVP of Physical Production, is in charge of overseeing and managing the production and crews behind all of Skydance’s feature films. After graduating from film school at Syracuse, Brad moved to Los Angeles in hopes of pursuing his passion to become a filmmaker. It didn’t take long for him to meet one of his idols. As an intern, Brad’s defining moment was when he got to drive acclaimed actor Martin Landau to set and pick his brain on all things movies. He quickly moved up the ranks ultimately landing a job as a physical production executive at Paramount Pictures where he worked on the Mission: Impossible, Star Trek and Jack Reacher films – all Skydance projects. Because of his close relationships at Skydance, he eventually joined our team to lead our physical production department. Brad not only loves the people he works with, but he’s also thrilled he gets to make movies everyday. “Making a movie is a giant puzzle that’s laid out on the table… That’s the fun part, solving problems and making movies.” ...

#skydancespotlight Kenny Madrid, Manager of TV, is responsible for the day-to-day oversight and management of Skydance’s current television slate, which includes Foundation and the Jack Reacher series. Kenny’s work supports Skydance shows in all stages of production. While each day is different, he is often found writing script notes, staffing a writer’s room or helping book directors. Growing up in Santa Clarita and later attending college at San Diego State University, Kenny had his sights set on a future in politics. A post-graduation job as a tour guide on the world-famous Paramount Studio lot changed all that. He balanced life on the lot by working various film set jobs (including an early stint as a production assistant on one of Skydance’s first movies, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol) and worked in feature development at Paramount before landing a position at Skydance. During his five-year tenure here, Kenny first worked for the CFO, but ultimately grew within the television department. He was promoted to his current role in November of 2018. Kenny’s daily inspiration comes from working on so many exciting projects, saying “I feel like a professional fan.” ...
