Check it out…

Alicia graduated from college in Texas and soon after landed an internship at MTV in New York City. After an intense and grueling experience, she realized something: she could rule the freakin’ world. So she packed up, headed to Los Angeles, and worked in production before making the move to Casting and Talent. With a long and impressive list of credits, including the esteemed “This Is Why You’re Single” which premiered at the impressive 8am time slot (!!!!!), Alicia is recognized by her peers as being a lightweight drinker who has no internal sensor and a penchant for red bottomed heels…. and a key cog in the Metal Flowers Media wheel.

California native Janelle Nixon has done more in 3 years of casting than most people will ever do in a lifetime. She’s been “Smarter Than A 5th Grader”, turned people into “Supermodels”, worked “America’s Toughest Jobs”, and found out she “Loves New York”… among many other notable accomplishments to date. From her beginnings as a Casting Assistant at MTV, Janelle has continued to rise through the ranks of the entertainment world’s casting standards. With hit shows on MTV, Bravo, Fox, VH1, TLC, DISCOVERY CHANNEL, she continues to put quality work into quality programming with her trademark mischievous grin and gorgeous blonde locks (which quite frankly, everyone in the office is jealous of).

Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Ivette is a published writer with a Master of Fine Arts from FSU. She has worked extensively in film and tv, including project such as “Weeds”, “West Wing”, The Hoax, Freedom Writers, and Wild Hogs. We love Ivette because her accent is adorable and because she stays as late as necessary without ever being asked. She likes color coded spreadsheets, she’s an uber-organizer, and she’s a part of the ‘supersleuth team’ here at Metal Flowers Media.

Shane is an all-around nice guy who has been known to make TV on occasion. He was once told that he has a great “phone voice” and although he was not quite sure what that meant, it made him very happy. Shane rarely sleeps due to the amount of past contestants who have his personal cell phone number and who feel compelled to use it at any hour of the night. As the innovator of the revolutionary product “Future Wine”, Shane will one day leave us when his invention makes him a multi-millionaire. Until then, he continues to pass his time by managing Kristi’s life for her and, on occasion, secretly sending it into utter turmoil so that he can consequently make it all better for her and prevail the hero. Undeniably, Shane is our central artery, and Metal Flowers Media is better because of his contributions.

The globetrotting Adam Von Muggenthaler splits his time between New York City and Los Angeles where by day he sells formats and develops talent-based content and by night, drinks good whiskey and breaks girls’ hearts. He also brings PR and agency experience to Metal Flowers Media, and lots of fashion sense: this is a guy whose previous client was John Varvatos, and we all want a piece of Adam’s wardrobe. Adam has also worked with HBO, The Rolling Stones, and Tina Fey. We’re psyched to have Adam – and his ITunes library.

Yeehaw!! Lauren is a sweet lil’ thang hailing from Knoxville, Tennessee. Every darn mornin’ when we walk in the office, this ray o’ sunshine is beamin’ with enthusiasm! Full of high hopes, big dreams, and bright smiles, it may stop ya in yer tracks when she astutely and no-nonsensically shakes her finger in your face for not turnin’ in a time card on time or not showing up for a meetin’. She’ll put the fear o’ God in ya all right… but then she’ll pat ya on the back, give ya a wink, and send ya on yer way with one of her trademark, fresh baked, homemade goodies. A graduate of University of Tennessee Knoxville and Boston University, Lauren’s high-falutin’ degrees impress the crap out of us… and she’ll impress the crap out of you when ya show up at our door or call our office. Amen!
