JOEL EISENBERG - CO-FOUNDER, PRESIDENT
Joel has written or contributed to
several books, including How to Survive a Day Job, Tales
of the Dead (a re-publication of the long-lost book of
German ghost stories that inspired Mary Shelley to write
Frankenstein), Championship Networking and numerous
others. He has written more than 30 commercial media
spots for such clients as McDonalds. Joel has also worked
in production finance, raising several million dollars in
national and local program funding for diverse PBS
programming including "California's Gold" with Huell
Howser, "American Playhouse," Masterpiece Theater" and
"The Puzzle Place." Joel presently utilizes his extensive
resources to fund an ongoing slate of feature films.
In 2004, Joel was hired by a
private party to identify, organize and archive a
substantial lot of original handwritten John Steinbeck
materials, referred to by a noted historian as one of the
most important literary finds of the century. The archive
was auctioned in mid-2007. Joel attributes his marketing
acumen to on-the-job training and to being an independent
filmmaker and publisher. He supports special education
programs and worked as a teacher for at-risk youth,
including gang members, drug abusers and victims of
physical abuse in such avenues as creative writing. He is
an in-demand speaker who has spoken for arts and
educational organizations nationwide on topics as diverse
as "Maverick Career Strategies for Creative Artists" and
"Self-Perpetuating Marketing for the Busy Entrepreneur."
He is proud to disclose that all of his speaking
engagements are based on personal experiences. On the film front, Joel is writing
and producing the biopic "Ghoulishly Yours, William M.
Gaines," with director John Landis ("National Lampoon's
Animal House," "The Blues Brothers"), and also executive
producing "April Showers," a docudrama based on the
Columbine tragedy, with his EMO Films partners Tim Owens
and Eugene Mandelcorn. Filming commences in June of '08.
Joel presently moderates the ALL
CITIES MEDIA GROUP, hosted by Greenberg-Traurig on the
first Tuesday of every month.
Joel
is an entrepreneur, a writer and teacher. He has been
writing professionally since 1986 in varied media,
starting as a columnist for a series of national
sports-entertainment periodicals and segueing to
independent feature film assignments. Joel has written or
co-written several full-length screenplays, many on
assignment or optioned from spec, sold or produced,
including the multi-award-winning drama Out of the Black,
starring Oscar nominee Sally Kirkland, Tyler Christopher,
Sally Struthers and Dee Wallace Stone. He is the former
director of the San Diego Film Festival Screenplay
Competition, and he continues to mentor creative artists
worldwide.
ERIC SHAW - CO-FOUNDER, CEO
The ALL CITIES RESOURCE GROUP is an
organization that sponsors a monthly series of business
networking gatherings and seminars. The group is
comprised primarily of bankers, lenders, attorneys,
accountants, investment bankers, mergers and acquisition
firms, and consultants-all related through similar client
bases and corporate finance. Please visit
www.allcities.org for more details. Eric is referred to alternately as
The Guru of Credit and Your Networking Personal Trainer
by thousands of satisfied clients.
Like
many Californians, Eric Shaw is a native New Yorker who
traveled west in search of the American Dream. He settled
in Los Angeles in the late 1970s and immediately
developed a plan to provide credit, collection and
liquidation services to businesses throughout the state
of California. He formed New York Credit, Inc., in 1979,
targeting companies that could not afford these skills or
that were not satisfied with the quality of service they
were currently paying for. New York Credit's website,
which details all related services, can be found at

ghostwriter and a freelance editor.
