- Producer
Film Producer / Philanthropist / Political Activist
Mr. Caine, an independent producer, photographer and talent manager.
Most recently he was a Producer and Chief Operating Officer for G. Anthony Joseph's Tritan-Northstar Entertainment, Inc. He works on securing financing & structuring financial models for their upcoming film slate, supervises the planning, budgeting, control of operating and capital expenditures and oversees all Legal, Finance and Business Affairs.
His background is a blend of business management, entertainment production, accounting and international finance. An effective communicator and negotiator who possesses exceptional analytical, interpersonal, project, and team management skills. He learned valuable insight into the structure and process of studio production and distribution during his tenure at Universal Pictures, Metro Goldwyn Mayer, Inc, (MGM), Spelling Entertainment and several other studios.
He started his career in various capacities at MCA/Universal Pictures(1990-1996), serving his last three years in production finance and accounting with Universal Pictures. While there, he worked on pictures such as Schindler's List (1993), Happy Gilmore, Daylight, Casino, Apollo 13, The Lost World, Waterworld, 12 Monkeys and Babe. He also analyzed and tracked costs for all of the production companies that had Production Term Deals with the studio. These companies included Ron Howard's Imagine Entertainment and Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment which became Dream Works. He prepared motion picture cash flow analysis, Talent Term Deal monthly and quarterly schedules, analyzed Talent Term Deal contracts to determine actual costs and appropriate flat advances. He prepared Gramercy Pictures' quarterly financial packets and reported MCA's interest to senior management. He budgeted all Talent Term Deal costs and was responsible for all inter-company transactions with Universal Pictures and other divisions of MCA, which totaled over one billion dollars. He learned valuable information about corporate restructuring and due diligence during the sale/merger to Matsushita and then again to Seagrams.
In addition to working full time at Universal and going to school at night he earned an Associates degree in Economics and Bachelor's degree in Business Management with an emphasis in Finance.
He opened his production company, Caine Entertainment, Inc. and optioned his first project, a book entitled "Stones and Stars", (a fish out of water set in Ireland) with Mr. Robert Crutchfield, former St. Vice President, Publicity for Universal Television. They began developing the project and several others while acquiring financing for other companies' projects. He opened offices in Santa Monica hiring an assistant and a development VP to work with writers on their several projects.
He left Universal to focus on raising financing for Caine Entertainment and its productions and eventually accepted a position as a Senior Production Accountant for Metro Goldwyn Mayer, Inc. (MGM) where he oversaw all television production and development spending and reporting for episodic television and movies of the week. He also worked on feature projects including Man In The Iron Mask, Ronin, Dirty Work and The Bond Films to name a few. He was also involved in much of the due diligence during the time MGM went from a private company to a public company. He transitioned from his full time position at MGM for a consulting job with clients including MGM, Castle Rock Entertainment, several NBC TV shows and small production companies.
After leaving MGM, Mr. Caine was critical in the merger of Spelling Entertainment with Paramount and Viacom. Working in the Strategic Planning and Analysis department as a senior financial analyst, he was responsible for overseeing all budgets for the TV shows and features as well as departmental budgets for all of Spelling Entertainment. The multi-million dollar restructuring and merger took well over a year to close and came in on schedule and on budget.
Mr. Caine's extensive background and experience has allowed him to acquire the knowledge needed to set up and make independent productions that are of high creative content and make sense for the financiers from a fiscal standpoint. In 2005 he produced with producer G. Anthony Joseph & Tritan-Northstar Entertainment, his first feature film, The Eliminator, which starred Michael Rooker and UFC Heavyweight champion Bas Rutten. He followed this as Consulting Producer on Tritan-Northstar Entertainment's 2008 award winning feature film "Contract Killers", which starred Frida Farrell and Nick Mancuso. Contract Killers went onto win several film festival awards and was eventually picked up by First Look Studios for a Jan 2009 USA domestic release. Contract Killers can now be seen on Showtime, TMC and Starz cable network.
Mr. Caine was injured in by an accidental gunshot in June of 2000 which left him a paraplegic using a wheelchair. However he is still very active enjoying kayaking, rock climbing, paddle boarding, and scuba diving.
Tritan-Northstar Entertainment has several projects upcoming in 2016 and 2017.
