The West Seattle Show

The West Seattle Show will be a regular 5-to10-minute video “picture show” presented on this here website and promoted thoroughly throughout West Seattle.

It will also be posted and promoted elsewhere on the internet as well, including sites like YouTube, Revver, Digg and many others.

It is being Produced by two West Seattle natives and long-time friends:

• Scott Schaefer, three-time National Emmy Award winning Writer for “Bill Nye the Science Guy” with over 21 years’ experience as a Writer, Producer and Director in TV/video, multimedia, marketing, advertising, technology and the internet. His credits also include six years in Hollywood, where he worked on “The Late Show” (Fox), “Totally Hidden Video” (Fox), “The Arsenio Hall Show” (Paramount), “Sightings” (Paramount) and numerous other productions. He got his start at Seattle’s own “Almost Live!” (KING-TV) in the ’80s, where he won six Northwest Emmy Awards. As a child, Scott was named “most likely to get beat up” at Genesee Hill, Schmitz Park, Madison Jr. High and West Seattle High Schools.

• Mark Neuman, TV Host, Marketer, Writer and Producer and long-time friend of Scott’s (they met in 7th grade at Madison Junior High). Mark has the chops, knowledge and passion to Host, and has vast experience in marketing and advertising. A former Journalist, he has interviewed two US Presidents, cops, cooks and cartoonists, authors and artists, senators, singers, scholars and senior citizens. Mark also has a deep passion for learning more about and preserving West Seattle’s history. Raised in the neighborhood, Mark still calls West Seattle home, because he got hit in the head and doesn’t realize he lives in Tacoma.
