Jodi Thomas comes with a wealth of experience in pilot and series
casting. Her diverse credits including game shows like Deal or No Deal;
competition shows like The Biggest Loser, and Beauty and the Geek;
dating shows like Tough Love; and Age of Love; and docu-series like
MTV's I Used to Be Fat.
Before
discovering her love for reality television casting in 2003, Jodi came
from a background in publicity and high-profile events production,
working in conjunction with the Emmys, People's Choice Awards, ESPYs,
and Golden Globe Awards. Her extensive experience working with the
public has given her a one-of-a-kind edge in developing creative
strategies and targeting niche casting pools.
Jodi
first discovered her talent for finding captivating people and stories
while working as an investigative news reporter for an NBC affiliate. At
19, she graduated from Texas Tech University with her Bachelor of Arts
in Communications and quickly began building experience in cable and
network television production in Dallas. To this day, she holds a sharp
production sense and unwavering passion for entertainment. She is now
partnering up with Rebecca Reczek in a full service casting and
production company: City Media, Inc.
Vinnie
Potestivo's professional career began in 1998 when he accepted a
full-time casting position at MTV Networks. Born and raised in New York,
it seems only natural that Vinnie would begin his career working in the
heart of the city - Times Square - the longtime location of MTV's
headquarters. As head of MTV's East Coast Talent & Series
Development, Vinnie was able to strive in the fields of casting and
production, playing a key role in the launch of top network talent,
including Mandy Moore, Benji & Joel Madden, Vanessa Minnillo, Nick
Cannon and Ashlee Simpson. Additionally, Vinnie produced and contributed
as a network executive on a variety of television series, such as
Laguna Beach, The Hills, Sunset Daze, 8th & Ocean, Aly & AJ : A
Sister Act, Me & Mr. Jones, Run's House and Real World Road Rules
Challenge.
After
a decade at MTV, Vinnie became a principal partner at Classic
Entertainment Group, where he developed and launched Blue Scissors Media
- a full service multimedia production company with a focus in branded
media content for a range of television, broadband and mobile platforms.
In 2008, he successfully launched Vinnie Potestivo Entertainment. As a
full-service talent-driven entertainment company, VPE specializes in
casting, the development of character and celebrity-driven reality
programming, talent procurement and modern media marketing.
