Actor Vincent M. Ward Launches New Production Company

The Writer and Producer Will Kick Off 1st Quarter with Notable Projects and TV Appearances

The accomplished Actor, who has worked many years in front of the camera, will move behind the scenes to consult for small businesses and talent looking to find their niche in the entertainment industry.

Ward is a student of the performing arts, having cultivated his acting chops on stages in Playhouses across the U.S. He has since then managed to build an impressive roster of TV and Film credits and wants to help others reach that same plateau.

“I really want to help people reach their dreams” offers Ward. “I think I have something unique to offer the world of entertainment. 2012 will be a big year for me and my team and I am hoping to establish V.M.W. Productions as a driving force in communities across the globe”, he offers.

Services offered at V.M.W Productions will include script writing and editing, creative services (design for digital and print) marketing, Advertising as well as union and guild resources for Talent. V.M.W. Productions will also include a national events division where Ward will serve as Executive Producer for Award shows and Conferences. This division will also provide an upscale networking experience for professionals to assemble, mingle, and share ideas. These gatherings are designed to arm attendees with the resources for career advancement, a superior focus of Vincent M. Ward and his affiliate-partners.

Operations for the branding and marketing of Vincent M. Ward as Actor, Philanthropist and Spokesperson will also continue under the production house; including the production of original Films, Web and Television series Co-Produced by Ward himself.

Be on the lookout for Vincent this spring as he continues to flex his acting muscle in “Tyler Perry’s House of Payne” on TBS Network and the hit NBC Network sitcom “Whitney”. You can also catch him in the highly anticipated stage play “Reap what you Sow” February 25, 2012 at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles, CA.

Members of the press are invited to request more details about the production company and Vincent is now available for appearances and bookings. To connect please visit http://www.vincentmward.com and you can also follow him on twitter @vincentmward.
