Gregg Hale

Gregg Hale was born in Selma, Alabama but his hometown is really Henderson, Kentucky. One collegiate year at Western Kentucky University full of theater, ballerinas and tequila somehow led to four years in the Army. After serving in the Special Forces, he moved to Orlando, Florida where he went to film school at both Valencia Community College and the University of Central Florida.  He worked as a set dresser and prop man on features and TV shows in Orlando and LA for ten years before producing The Blair Witch Project in 1999. Gregg was honored to receive the Nova Award as outstanding new producer from the Producer’s Guild of America for his work on that film.  Gregg co-created the television series Freakylinks for Fox Television and produced the show’s website which is still one of the most extensive transmedia works ever presented on the Internet. Gregg has directed a number of award-winning regional and national television commercials. His first (and only, so far) feature film as director, Say Yes Quickly, played in film festivals nationwide in 2005 and won Best Feature at the IndieMemphis festival.  In addition to his film work, he is one of the founders and Executive Creative Directors at Campfire, one of the ad industry’s leaders in transmedia and online advertising.
