Today we’d like to introduce you to Jean Sharony.

Jean Sharony

Hi Jean, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start, maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers.
My work history is extensive and laborious, awarding me with all the knowledge and experience I now possess. 

I have worked at firms such as Saatchi & Saatchi, Ogilvy & Mather, Cineaccion, and Cinemagica, where I held the Executive Producer position for worldwide productions. 

I have had clients such as Colgate Palmolive serve as their most valuable provider. 

I then went on to create my own production company, The Point Production, based in Miami, Florida, before joining forces with Whisky Films more than ten years ago. 

In 2015, I moved this operation to California, expanding the Whisky brand not only within North America but around the globe, now with nine offices. 

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
While we have achieved many things, we have faced numerous challenges. Changing countries and cities is not an easy task and is not free from stress and challenges. 

Over the years, we have also faced numerous changes in the production industry. 

The challenges of new technologies and the evolving methods of production. 

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
As an Executive Producer and country manager at Whisky Films Co., my work revolves around overseeing and guiding film production processes to ensure high-quality outcomes. I specialize in managing large-scale, international productions, bringing a wealth of experience from my previous roles at prominent firms such as Saatchi & Saatchi and Ogilvy & Mather. 

My work is well regarded in the industry, particularly for my ability to deliver outstanding results for clients like Colgate Palmolive. 

What sets me apart from others in the industry is my extensive involvement with the International Quorum of Motion Pictures Producers (IQ). 

This role has enabled me to collaborate with and learn from a diverse group of producers, cinematographers, and directors, further enriching my expertise. 

Additionally, my contributions to the industry have been recognized through invitations to judge prestigious award festivals, including the US International Film and Video Festival Awards, The One World Award, and the Mobius Awards. Being a Lead Speaker at the Ogilvy Talks 2019 is another highlight of my career. 

In summary, my unique blend of executive leadership, global production experience, and active participation in industry development are what truly distinguish me in the field of film production. 

How can people work with you, collaborate with you, or support you?
People can work with me or collaborate with me through several avenues. At Whisky Films Co., we are always open to new partnerships, whether it’s for film production, creative projects, or innovative ventures within the industry. 

Collaborators can reach out to us directly through our company’s contact channels to discuss potential projects and ideas. 

We also welcome talent from diverse backgrounds and encourage individuals with fresh perspectives to connect with us, as we believe in the value of varied experiences and viewpoints in enriching our productions. 

In summary, whether it’s through direct collaboration, creative partnerships, or industry networking, there are many ways to work with and support our initiatives at Whisky Films Co.
