Steve Michelson

Steve Michelson
President & Executive Producer
Steve Michelson was founder and president of One Pass (1975-85), San Francisco's largest production and post-production studio before starting SMP in 1986. Michelson is a recipient of the Gilbert Award for outstanding contribution to Northern California's film community. Steve is a former board member of Film Arts Foundation, the country's largest regional organization of independent producers. He has served four terms as a Governor with the National Academy for Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS).

"DVD publishing is our specialty," states Michelson. "Music, documentaries, marketing, training and education... all these areas and many more will be going through a revolution over the next few years, as DVD players and DVD-ROM computers are installed in over 120 million U.S. homes."

"From the DVD Authoring perspective, if you come into the game after the production is underway, or completed, you are limiting yourself. At The Ranch, we want to plan for DVD-ROM and Web enabled DVD Publishing from the inception of a project. This early collaboration helps us gather the elements and information we need to publish a DVD that will reach more people, with a more compelling story. This enables us to take full advantage of the Web as an outreach and communications tool."

Art Director
Rebecca Holland is an internationally-known landscape painter and graphic artist. Her career in fine and commercial art spans over 40 years. We are proud to have the benefit of her talent and experience here at Lobitos Creek Ranch.

"It is rewarding to work with producers and creative people. I enjoy interpreting their ideas into images. I bring my background in traditional media and fine art, and combine it with a digital paintbrush, in order to do that"
