Rob Blasko
Producing world-class entertainment is my passion. I'm a producer, creative director, production manager, and designer. I've developed theatrical presentations, theme park attractions, experiential activations, and social media campaigns.
My projects include work for Universal Studios, Walt Disney Studios, DreamWorks, Planet Hollywood, Cake Group, Hasbas Entertainment, and Thinkwell Design & Production. Check out my resume for more.
I live in Los Angeles, but I am available for projects worldwide. Send me an email if you're interested in connecting.
