Television Production
Early in his professional life Beau was employed both as a freelancer in various technical roles, and on-staff in a "producing" capacity at Film and Television companies like The Pegasus Group and Finnegan/Pinchuk Productions pitching in on whichever show happened to need help at the moment. All of this work was done at the bottom end of the budget spectrum, independent features, TV Movies Of the Week, after school specials ... nothing particularly outstanding.
In and among that work Beau was also Producer on the two Television films noted below. Again, neither was outstanding, yet the people involved were some of the best in the business and the situations in which they were made were significantly rewarding in a wide variety of ways.
