Red Brick Entertainment Produces the 2006 Boost Mobile Major League Gaming Pro Circuit Tour on USA Network

New York, NY (PRWEB) November 9, 2006 -- There are 168 million video game enthusiasts in the United States and Red Brick Entertainment is producing the sports series that will crown the champion of the 2006 Boost Mobile Major League Gaming Pro Circuit Tour on USA Network. MLG pursued Rob Dustin to executive produce the series because of Dustin's well-established credentials as an innovator in sports television.



"Rob's ability to make the television audience feel like an integral part of a competition has earned him three Emmy awards and made him our first choice to capture the excitement of video gaming by televising our seven-city Pro Circuit Tour," explained Sundance DiGiovanni, the co-founder and chief brand officer of MLG. "Rob and his team are giving those new to the sport a taste of the action responsible for making video gaming the fastest growing sport in the world."

Dustin, the president of Red Brick Entertainment, was selected for this job because he gives the audience insight into the mind of the athlete, the challenges of the sport, the competitive landscape and the intensity of the game. What sets Dustin's work apart is his innovative use of cinematography, state-of-the art graphics and a dedication to making the sporting event a visceral, emotional experience for viewers.

"I love giving viewers a glimpse of what sporting events look like from the competitors' point of view," said Dustin. "It makes it real to the viewer and helps them feel the rush that comes from being part of the game."

Dustin has a lot of experience in getting his viewers into the game. He produced and directed many sporting events for CBS Sports and was a pioneer in the "point-of-view" format that lets viewers experience the intensity of world-class sports competition from the elite athlete's perspective. It started with Rob attaching a tiny camera, like the ones used on F16 fighter jets, to bobsleds and downhill skiers at the Lillehammer Olympic Winter Games in 1994. This innovative approach is the gold standard in sports cinematography today. Dustin produced and directed several events at the Olympics in '92, '94, and '98, he is most well-known for making the figure skating events one of the most watched Olympic competitions. This talent led, most recently, to Rob being awarded the coveted role of co-executive producer for FOX Television's popular "Skating with Celebrities" reality/variety series. He is also credited with producing and directing the richly awarded and critically acclaimed CBS primetime television movie, "My Sergei," about the tragic love story of Russia's two-time Olympic champions, Katia Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov.

The seven-part competition series begins airing on USA on Saturday, November 11th. Gamers compete in teams of four to win local events held in The Meadowlands, New Jersey; Dallas, Texas; Anaheim, California; Chicago, Illinois; Orlando, Florida and New York City, New York. The championship event will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada and air on USA December 23rd.
