Dennis Gelbaum

I am an international award winning Producer, Director, Writer, Author and Inventor and I am presently the Managing Director of ramp it up entertainment, a full service creative boutique and brand experience agency and multimedia production company.

I have worked with clients all over the world producing and directing hundreds of commercials, promos, trailers, music videos, live multimedia events (concerts, tours, festivals), multimedia interactive presentations (meetings, product introductions, in-store promotions and museum exhibits), corporate awareness and fundraising films/videos and hours of long & short form programming and content for theatrical release, broadcast, web and mobile.

"I believe in the power of storytelling to motivate and inspire. From the campfire to the web, authentic stories unite communities, build bridges and create connections. Rooted in the primal, human experience of communication, I help my clients harness the power of technology to deliver engaging content to audiences in ways both resonant and meaningful, creating pathways for people, institutions, companies and brands to tell their story. My work connects brands to people and people to brands."

"From creating interactive and multimedia websites (that provides brands the ability to collect and analyze vital consumer and media usage information) to creating, producing and sponsoring original content for broadcast, web and mobile, to product placement in all media and creating live events - it is all about unleashing the power of a brand (s)."

I am the author of the novel, ‘Beyond Reasonable Doubt’, a character driven, mystery-thriller with more twists and turns than a double helix and I am featured in 50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading, by Danielle Hampson & Don McCauley and 'Something About Going Home', a book of original poetry with illustrations by Christina Qualiana. I invented the Buddy Light Illuminated Safety Leash, one of the best selling pet products ever featured at The Sharper Image. And I received the Distinguished Alumnus Award from American University and established the NAVARAC Scholarship...an annual contribution providing students funds, services and resources to help them complete film/video/multimedia projects.
