Dale Schneck - Producer & Screenwriter
Profile
Just having completed the horror feature film “Masked Mutilator,” (North American rights acquired by Severin Films, Inc.) which he Exec produced and co-wrote with Ed Polgardy (producer of feature films for Lifetime cable network, etc.), Dale Schneck has also created an uplifting new reality series. Schneck’s production company is also developing a scripted dramatic TV series, along with a sequel to “Masked Mutilator.”
Schneck’s career has spanned the worlds of screenwriter, personal manager, film critic and educator teaching courses in filmmaking and journalism. For 7 years he was Film Arts Editor of The Morning Call (Allentown, PA – now a Tribune publication.) Many of Schneck’s columns and features have been published internationally through The Los Angeles Times Syndicate.
Schneck recently wrote, produced and directed the “Love Hurts” music video for pop/rap artist DEMETRIUS which appears on the DemetriusVEVO channel on YouTube.
Schneck began his career in entertainment while in college deejaying on WHOL Radio (Allentown, PA) when it was a Top 40 station back in the 1960’s. At the same time, he became the personal manager of THE SHILLINGS, a rock group which he ultimately signed to Mercury Records where the group was produced by Wes Farrell who also produced David Cassidy and The Partridge Family. Later Schneck signed The Shillings to mega-producer Don Kirshner, creator of TV’s “The Monkees” and “The Archies.”
Schneck has also written original screenplays optioned by such production entities as Films Around the World and Smart Egg Pictures (co-producers of the “Nightmare on Elm Street” horror franchise.)
Schneck created “The Fartleys,” a series of short comedic Internet videos in which he portrays all of the quirky Fartley characters. A TV sitcom based on these characters is also in development.
