Keith Jodoin
CEO and Executive Producer

As chief storyteller at Sapling Pictures, Jodoin believes in good storytelling – some stories are better told factually, and others dramatically. Either way, his specialty is simply getting it done. End of story.

Jodoin writes, directs and produces fiction and nonfiction projects for broadcast networks, major companies and Hollywood studios. He leads all production and post-production services offered at Sapling Pictures. Through his work in the television industry over nearly 20 years, he has received awards from CTAM, Promax/BDA, Telly, MarCom, Hermes and ITVA, and his independent film work has been screened at festivals around the globe.

From blue-chip beauty to high-adrenaline action to brand promotions, his projects vary greatly in genre and tone, highlighting the variety of styles he’s adept at creating.

Some of his most notable and exciting projects include producing four seasons of the weekly promotional campaign for Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch and editoral work on two special episodes of Gold Rush, two of the highest-rated series on cable television; an insiders’ look into animal care for Zoo Tube, a short series sponsored by Animal Planet and the Association of Zoos and Aquariums; and a series pilot for Discovery International, Between Life and Death, that featured dramatic recreations and top-end computer graphics. Jodoin’s work on other notable properties include Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, American Chopper, Shark Week, The Science of Star Wars, Batman Begins, the National Treasure series, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol and Finding Nemo.

In the realm of make believe, Jodoin has created several independent projects including action shorts, one-room dramas, and a unique dramatic improv.

In addition to creating award-winning work, Jodoin shares his passion for TV and film by teaching writing and directing courses for Boston University’s Center for Digital Imaging Arts. He lives with his wife and daughter in Fairfax, Va.
