JOHN CLINE TO HEAD PRODUCTION AT CURIOUS PICTURES
Curious Pictures has live action, table top, CGI, mo-cap, design and animation capabilities in-house. The studio has worked on branded entertainment, games, commercials, animated series and even theatrical productions.
Cline began his career as a production assistant, freelancing for major New York-based live action production houses. As he gained experience, he was eventually named an executive producer at Optic Nerve, where he worked in both live action and visual effects on commercials and broadcast promos for clients such as Nike, Microsoft, HP, Reebok, ESPN, VH1 and MTV.
After leaving Optic Nerve he moved to the agency side, joining JWT as an executive producer for Merrill Lynch and Kellogg's. From there he joined Fallon Worldwide's New York office, where he produced high-profile work for Virgin Mobile and Starbucks.
When Fallon closed its New York office, Cline became head of production at Nitro USA, a boutique that grew exponentially in just two years. While at Nitro, he produced or executive produced successful campaigns for Dove Chocolates, Twix, Healthy Choice and Kraft, with the latter including several spots produced at Curious Pictures.
