John DeTitta

Producer, Musician & Entrepreneur

I have been involved with business development, sales, marketing and film production for over 30 years experience. During this time, I have worked with Fortune 500 companies, Entertainment Companies and some of the most well known film producers in the industry I have had articles in various worldwide organizations including the NY Times, Wall St Journal, Nikkei Stock Exchange and Variety and many more.

Over the years I took products ranging from cardboard chairs to food products and built a huge marketing and sales campaign that within months, built major companies. I have been on top and scrapping the bottom..... Through it all I realized its all part of the journey and no matter were you are in life, you still got to sit back and enjoy the ride.

If you can't handle failure... and move on, then you can never grow as a person or individual and become what you have been made to become. That’s not easy to accept or explain… it’s gotta just happen. It’s an unbelievable feeling to overcome an obstacle and look back and see where you were prior to overcoming it and realizing that is your willpower and strength that got you there. Believe me, people will try to pull you down and you can be the most honorable person in the world and you will still make mistakes and have people talk about you. You can’t live for anyone but yourself and the values that matter to you like family, true friends and faith.

Sites I created

Many people who know me realize putting websites up about me was the last thing I wanted to do, but I felt if I could help a creative mind achieve their goals then it would be selfish not to do it. I have four sites up on the web.

This site, www.johndetitta.com which is my main site and will start blogging about all my goals and then I have:

www.johndetitta.net
The focus of this site is to provide as many free tools and advice for the creative artists or business start-up. It’s a cross example of what I learned and what I am still learning just throwing up there so maybe it can help you and not make a similar mistake. I also put a ton of free links… the best way to make money is not to spend it in the first place and limit your liability from day one and along the way.

Which goal is to promote the outreach of my movie Ten Talents Movie that has been shown in theaters across the United States, with the goal of motivating, education and inspiring the creative person. What I did was travel all across the country and video tape Artists, Musicians, Filmmakers and Authors about what they experienced in their journey of creative expression. What motivates them, what obstacles they had to over come etc. Its kind of cool. We had the movie shown in about 20 theaters so far with great reviews and some time in 2012 we will do a national showing on one day.

Which will be the focus on my national released feature movie I am producing called Manic Ride. Manic Ride tell the story of my creative journey and how it effects the family, through the eyes of my daughter as a child. I also felt a child eye usually tells the truth. I was lucky to get some major producers Barbara De Fina who did the classics like Goodfellas, Casino, Raging Bull and many others.

It’s been hard enough to sit down and create all this let alone try and blog updates but I will try.
