Adam Tate accepts the position of Assistant Vice President and Senior Director - Eno Entertainment Group
On August 13th, 2007, Adam Tate accepted the position of Assistant Vice President and Senior Director - Eno Entertainment Group, the movie production department responsible for producing all length of movies, animation and documentaries. Adam will be responsible for directing and coordinating all aspects of motion picture shoots produced by Eno River Media Production.
This is the first Senior Director level appointment made by ERMP. Anthony Dowling states; "Adam has just completed the most aggressive and complicated season for motion picture production ERMP has attempted. The season completed with amazing success. Adam deserves this promotion via his work ethic and loyalty to the motion picture industry and ERMP. Adam should be a template for all others achieving Senior Director level. He is that good."
Adam Tate was born amidst a hospital fire in Atlanta, Georgia, somewhere in the neighborhood of 1982. Growing up in Athens, Georgia, Adam was influenced by his father, a two-time Emmy nominated lighting director. His parents invoked a worldly regiment of classical cinema and opera instead of Sesame street and the Muppets. Unfortunately to this day, Adam can not name the green trashcan dwelling creature or any of Mr. Rogers' odd train-driving friends. However, he can relay the story of Siegfried and Brunhilde's battles over the Ring of the Nebiellung and say the alphabet backwards.
Adam attended the University of Georgia as a drama major for two years before moving to Savannah, Georgia to learn the ways of the world and the deadly art of filmmaking via an apprenticeship to a local filmmaker, working on several commercials and documentaries.
"Adam, what was your greatest achievement while working in the industry in Savannah?" you may ask, "Once we were doing an infomercial about the Rascal electric scooter, and I got to drive the scooter around downtown Savannah. It was excellent."
Retreating from the crime infested-tourist wasteland of the Georgia coast, he moved to Raleigh, North Carolina to attend the School of Communication Arts, where he earned a best short drama award for his film "Fragile", and diploma in Digital filmmaking in 2005.

Barchords Renewed Co-Hosts
Anthony Dowling, Executive Producer for Eno River Media Production announced Monday morning the renewal of Chad Smith and Pam Calci as Co-Hosts for Barchords for 2007.
Chad was born in Cary, NC in 1980. He attended Cary High School and graduated in 1998. Chad knew he had a flare for writing in High School. He started to write plays which lead to scripts for short movies. In 1999, Chad attended Wake Technical College where he studied Acting. His love of writing and then acting grew during these college years, and he quickly made the transition from school to the workplace where he was able to indulge his acting while making a living.
As a kid, Chad grew up hearing Mo Town on his Mom's record player. From that early age, music got into his bones. Chad's intensity drove his quest for more knowledge about anything associated with music. He knew he could play some instruments, but not well. So, if he couldn't be a musician, he could at least hang around them. Those friendships soon started his education into the music industry and lifestyle.
In late 2002, Chad accepted a position with Eno River Media Production as the Co Host for Barchords.
Pamela Kristine Calci was born in Rhode Island on March 9th, 1980. West Warwick High School sparked her initial interest in the arts, which then motivated Pamela to enroll at the University of Rhode Island as a theatre major with a focus on acting.
At URI, her mainstage performances include roles such as 'Mary Warren' (The Crucible), 'Lady Nijo'(Topgirls), 'Kate' (Brighton Beach Memoirs), 'Bee Bee' (SubUrbia), and 'Mrs. Webb' (Our Town). During and after her college years, Pamela also worked with artistic venues such as The Gamm and New Gate Theatre.
Though acting is her passion, her theatrical training and experiences also include stagecraft, makeup and costume, and stage management. In the summer of 2004, Pamela claimed a new home in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Here, she has been driven to continue her acting efforts. Over the past 2 years, involvement with the independent film arena has put her theatrical training to the test.
Pamela is confident that she will be able to channel her passion and talent through the artistic vessel that is Eno River Media Productions.
As a volunteer joining the ranks of ERMP in May, 2006, Pam will be contributing primarily as Talent.
