Starting in 1997 with the cable television show The Heartbreak Café, Robert Michael Conrad and James Nestor (Bob and Jim), have expanded their production capabilities to include several cable TV shows and independent short films. Partnering with several institutions in Orange County, California, many possibilities for writers, directors, actors, and crew have been developed. Opportunities exist for directors and film students to have their work distributed to film festivals and viewed by other directors, producers, and agents.
