Getting knocked on his butt for the film Passenger 57, gave Mitchell Dean his first taste of the entertainment business, and led to a stunt career which would span the 90's. Unfortunately, it also ended early with his retirement in 2003. During that time he acted and performed as a stunt person in some big budget blockbuster films and award-winning television shows. However, he wasn't content to simply be a stunt person during those years and so he took advantage of his creative writing to pen scripts for some popular television shows and selling two spec scripts, "A Reason To Die" and "Miami Kills Me." After his retirement from stunt work, Mitch launched his second career as a screenwriter, producer, and director. He picked up an MFA in Dramatic Writing from the Tish School of the Arts and he kicked off VisionTrip Media (which is now Metagene Media Company) becoming an "in-demand" creative contractor creating projects for Disney, The United States Department of Defense, MSN, X-Box, Intel, and many other Fortune 500 companies. These projects were wide ranging; video games and interactive projects, E-learning, rich media, and of course film and television. He was the head writer and segment director for the internet show, Mom's Homeroom; a marketing entertainment project for Kellogg's and MSN. The show gained over 72 million unique views, which set a historic level for viewership of an internet show at the time. Mitch has always been ahead of trending media technology, having also been on the forefront of utilizing interactive video for E-learning and training. He led the field, writing, and assistant directing multiple award-winning projects for the United States Department of Defense and even garnered special recognition from Congress. After almost a decade of working in the corporate world, Mitch is once again turning his attention back to film and television projects on a full-time basis. With his experience working with some of the world's greatest directors and producers, his success will surely continue. Show less «
