Fred Koster, a 30-year member of the Screen Actors Guild, has had a rich and varied career in the film industry. He has studied under some of the greatest acting teachers of our time, including Don Richardson and Tom Orth.
After spending several years honing his craft, Fred decided to take a hiatus from the film industry to pursue business ventures in Asia and Europe. This break allowed him to broaden his horizons and gain valuable experience in the business world.
However, Fred's passion for the film industry eventually drew him back in, and he began working behind the camera as a writer, director, host, and producer. He has since worked on a wide range of projects, including documentaries about the Super Bowl, US Open, NFL, NCAA Football, NASCAR, and MLB.
One of the highlights of Fred's career has been the opportunity to interview over 50 professional Hall of Fame and All-Star athletes. He has also conducted 130 other interviews with a diverse range of individuals, including refugees, US military figures, foreign dignitaries, and journalists.
Fred is known for his exceptional attention to detail and his ability to exceed clients' expectations. His clients have praised him for his professionalism, saying things like, "Fred Koster relentlessly pursued the production of our US Open film. He put together a fantastic show and exceeded our expectations."
In addition to his work in the film industry, Fred has also been involved in several other notable projects. For example, he designed and launched one of the first and most sophisticated Video on Demand sports websites in conjunction with Microsoft and The Sporting News. He also produced 1,000 fully produced short form sports videos for Memory Lane, writing over 400 of the individual scripts himself.
Fred has also had the opportunity to work on several other projects that he finds particularly enjoyable. For example, he has toured the country with a camera crew, capturing interviews with Hall of Fame baseball players. He has also worked on a documentary about his own life, which he hopes to release in the near future.
Throughout his career, Fred has been driven by a passion for storytelling and a desire to bring people's stories to life. He believes that acting does not have to be a difficult or arduous process if you can find the key to unlocking exceptionalism within the actor. He also understands the importance of knowing every process of filmmaking, from pre-production to post-production, in order to deliver a good directorial performance.
