Todd Crawford

Todd Crawford is a SoCal native. During his misspent youth in the San Fernando Valley, his 5th grade teacher recognized Todd’s writing talent and asked him to pen a one-act play about Arbor Day for the class to put on. The result, ‘Battle For The Trees’ (in which Todd wisely wrote a supporting, comedic relief role for himself) premiered in 1983 on the Lorne St. Elementary auditorium stage. To date, the play is still performed every year at Lorne for Arbor Day. Todd returned to direct the play for its 20th anniversary.

In addition to being a finalist & an award winning writer in script festivals (Bluecat, StoryPros), Todd spent over a decade in post production, notably as a color timing assist at Company 3 during the early stages of the Digital Intermediate Color Timing process that set the industry standard being used today. He’s worked with A-list directors such as Michael Bay, J.J. Abrams, Michael Mann, and the late Tony Scott.

Currently, Todd is the creator/contributor to the satirical entertainment news blog TINSELTOWN TAKEDOWN
