Home | French Bred Productions

I didn't spell it wrong. It's supposed to be Bred. Not Bread. Merci...I mean, Thanks. ;-)

My Story

I am an experienced creative producer, now based in Upstate New York, but I've worked mostly in NYC, and Los Angeles, although I've worked in many other markets as well (San Diego, Philadelphia, Taos, Crested Butte, Hawaii, Milan, London, etc). I established French Bred Productions years ago and, throughout those years, most of my work has been in Sports and Fitness production, Gameshow production and development, Reality-based programming and Comedy shows (standup and sketch). I've also spent time as a Network Producer, Production Executive, EIC, Branding Consultant, Logo Designer, really anything one calls "creative". I've produced everything from National TV Spots, Radio Commercials and Infomercials, to Broadcast and Cable Network programming, and Corporate and Promotional videos. I’m happy to apply the experience and skills I’ve obtained in my career in order to manage projects through creative problem solving, flawless execution, and innovative thinking. I possess a strong eye for detail and I thrive independently as well as in collaborative situations.

Whether you need someone for a short-term project, or a long-term collaboration, I’d love to hear from you. You’re invited to contact me, pick my brain, and discuss how we can do some great work together.

Eric Zappia

I am humbled...

"For more than 30 years, I've consistently marketed my practice and services with heavy Radio, TV, Billboard and Transit advertising. But I've never been busier than I have been over the past month or so. Our office phones are ringing off the hook. The only thing I'm doing differently now than I ever was doing? I began running three new, very creative and unique radio and TV commercials, which Eric created, developed, wrote and produced for me. That's my only explanation." - Client

"Eric is a consummate 5-tool player - a strong strategic thinker with a great sense of design and creative instincts. He's a great writer, excellent producer, ever resourceful and insanely devoted to his clients' needs and those of his colleagues. Definitely a guy to go to when you need something done that no one's really done before." - Client

"I've worked with Eric on many projects which involved his skills as a creative concept person, writer, producer and team leader. I can state with absolute certainty that Eric is a superb motivator and has been a valued contributor creatively on television and film projects I directed. In fact, Eric is my producer of choice when he's available and I feel privileged to have worked with him on so many important projects." - Colleague

"I've know Eric since college. He was then, and still is, one of the most creative and driven people I have ever known or had the good fortune to work closely with. He is a consistent inspiration to his staff and crew. He loves to push the creative envelope to come up with solutions that drive efficiency and growth for his clients. I've worked with a lot of creative people during my career, but not many can match Eric in terms of his creative skills and instincts. He's a great writer, thinker, mentor, producer, competitor, team leader and confidant. " - Colleague
