During his 30-plus years in the entertainment industry, Barr Potter, founder and CEO of MediaWide Consultants, has seen how small companies, start-ups and individuals have often been disadvantaged by not having access to experienced business advisors in Los Angeles. Lawyers, agents and managers traditionally fill this need to a certain degree, but they rarely come from a background where they have actually run an entertainment-related business. As described in more detail in his bio, Barr is an experienced CEO/COO in the film and new media industries, having established and managed both private and public companies in those sectors.
