Virgin Produced is a new kind of production company. One that is creative, not controlling. One that refuses to cut corners and doesn't use money to buy your love. One that has faith in its projects. And one that plays nicely with our brothers and sisters in the aviation, mobile, banking, hotel, health club, music, train, and video game industries. Virgin Produced very simply has balls, and we're not afraid to show them. In fact, we're gonna go ahead and apologize ahead of time. You might see our balls. Our bad.

The Virgin brand has deep roots in media and entertainment. The brand started in 1970 with a record store and then expanded into a massive record label, mobile, video games, radio, festivals, media, and more. (Not to mention its airlines, trains, luxury resorts, gyms, and even a spaceline.) Partnering with Jason and Justin means new talent and fresh material will get to reach a broader audience in innovative ways.

The Virgin audiences are open, creative, optimistic, social, fun-loving and always young-at-heart — no matter what age. They stand out from the crowd. They set trends and fearlessly make unconventional decisions. They are smart and they want to be entertained in a smart and fresh way. Understanding our target audience allows us to be more innovative and challenging in the way we interact with them. Being part of the global Virgin family is a privilege and an incredible opportunity: it's like working with an indie production company with our own fancy logo'ed planes, trains, phones and such — each operating across five continents. Bloody hell, don't let the big name fool you: our concept lives and dies with the quality of the creative we produce. So if you think you have the next bright idea, go ahead, have your people call our people.

Richard Branson is the innovative, fun and charismatic Sir behind the Virgin lifestyle brand. His deep roots in the entertainment industry and entrepreneurial spirit have evolved into his founding of Virgin Produced. This combined with his rebellious nature are sure to make the unexpected happen.

As one of the youngest CEO's within the Virgin Group of companies, producer Jason Felts co-founded Virgin Produced in 2010 overseeing the group's expansion into the film, television and new media content business. Named as one of Variety's '10 Producers to Watch', Felts is reminding thirsty content consumers of what makes the Virgin brand so different. Those who know Felts, know he won't pat his own back, so we aren't going to bore you with a list of his credits here. You will just have to find them elsewhere on our site or by taking a Clear Pill and having a revelation. We will tell you though Felts got his start in commercial and music video production and in 2004 co-founded J2 Pictures & J2TV with business partner Justin Berfield proving quickly to have a keen eye for concept, story and talent. More importantly was their priority of fostering a creative environment for writers, directors and actors. First out of the gate was some reality television. As one half of "J2", Felts then went on to package, produce and co-finance several films and create and produce a handful of television pilots and series. Although not as smart or as good looking as the team he leads, Felts is proud that Virgin Produced doesn't operate as a bunch of rug salesmen, but instead puts quality and innovation first. Seriously.

Actor/Producer Justin Berfield starred in or has produced over 250 episodes of television before he even grew a whisker. That's right, we're talking six shows before puberty. As an actor, Justin is best known for portraying the role of the rebellious 'Reese' on FOX's Emmy Award winning series MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE. In 2004, Justin moved behind the camera, co-founding J2 Pictures & J2TV with Jason Felts. Together, they created and executive produced several unscripted pilots and series for FOX, MTV, E!, Animal Planet, and CMT. Oh yeah, and although you could say TV is in Justin's DNA, he has produced a few films as well. As Chief Creative Officer at Virgin Produced, Justin oversees our creative team across all platforms. Most importantly, he is responsible for watching over the brand and ensuring that we don't produce DRIVING MISS DAISY 2 or some painful reality show.

Forman is good at two things: developing TV shows and snowboarding. (Okay, not really snowboarding.) Six shoulder surgeries and a titanium ball later, he finally realized he should have just stuck with TV. As a pup, Michael worked with the likes of Barry Levinson and Tom Fontana. Then, he and his boss at Brillstein Grey Television developed NEWSRADIO, JUST SHOOT ME, THE NAKED TRUTH and THE JEFF FOXWORTHY SHOW - (you know, that redneck who's smarter than a 5th grader) Oh yeah, THE SOPRANOS was developed while he was at BGTV, just not by him, but anytime he can get his name in the same sentence as THE SOPRANOS he takes it. Then the NBC buyer bug bit him (a real nasty sum-bitch) and he served as VP of Development where he was involved in WILL & GRACE and PROFILER. After a stretch at UPN to run programming and current, he formed Big Cattle Productions (with partner Eric McCormack) where he sold his ass off. Most recently Forman served as Prez of TV at Davis Entertainment. PS: this is clearly the longest bio on this site, and Michael has the grey hair to prove it's all true.

Rene looks after film development and production here at Virgin Produced. Having begun his career as an independent producer Rene can troubleshoot like none other. Prior to joining Virgin Produced, Rene served as VP of Development & Production at State Street Pictures (NOTORIOUS, SOUL FOOD, MEN OF HONOR, BARBERSHOP I & II) where he developed, packaged and was involved in all areas of production for the Twentieth Century Fox based production company. So go ahead, have your people call his people so we can work together.

Barrick Prince (no, not of 'Purple Rain' fame) oversees unscripted TV for Virgin. Prince cut his teeth early on at WMA. Itchy for fresh content, he headed to the UK where he procured international formats for FOX. A few months in, he spotted SUPERNANNY and was on a plane back to the US having secured Europe's hottest format. As he walked off his ___X___ flight (not Virgin), he learned his first lesson in TV: Never be unreachable! While in the sky, ABC made a better offer. Prince made lemonade and went after and secured NANNY 911 and WORST WEEK. In 2008, Prince formed his own consulting firm serving Fremantle, Fox Intl Channels and the UK's cable channels at Virgin Media.

As head of our commercial division, Huntley oversees all of physical production for commercials, advertisements and branded entertainment. Huntley knows nuts and bolts and while a chunk of his toolkit is dedicated to our sister companies and their agencies, he is an equal opportunity producer who values innovative creative regardless of his clients' logo.

Born and raised in small town New Jersey where she cultivated an interest in film (instead of dairy farming or mob hits), Naia attended Brown University before moving to LA. Once her flight landed, she went to work in development for such notable companies as Red Wagon, CAA, Legendary Pictures and Bold Films. After working on films including 300, SUPERMAN RETURNS, BATMAN BEGINS, BEERFEST and THE HOLE, Naia had firmly found her place among fanboys and fangirls. She now hangs at Virgin Produced as our favorite Creative Executive (aka "D-Girl"), reading every script first.

Rebecca, aka The Glue, serves as Director of Operations for Virgin Produced. She's the adhesive that keeps this place together. Rebecca oversees every aspect of everything that's important and nobody messes with her, mainly because she is a former rugby player from back east. Prior to joining Virgin Produced, Rebecca worked for J2TV & J2 Pictures where she did the same job without the business card to prove it.

As Virgin's main legal eagle in the entertainment biz, Darin Frank is around to keep us creative types on the straight and narrow. He's a partner in his firm, with a big fancy high-rise office in Beverly Hills. (He actually has and wears a suit.) However, he did go to law school at UCBerkeley which we will forgive him for.

As the Chief Calculator, Ted Vidmar, CPA graduated Magna Cum Laude from some fancy college that makes us all look rather stupid. This is why Ted and his team of certified public accountants oversee all things financial and strategic. If Ted sounds important, well that's because he is.

We looked around and no company has an online profile on their assistants, and we think that is just rude. After all, everyone knows that they do everything. Our incredibly talented, sexy (can we say that?) and hardworking support team consists of some wonderful individuals that you will meet when we invite you over!
