“A great director is only as good as his producer. And the cornerstone of our team is Mayran. When you think of George Lucas you think of Rick McCullum, when you think of Steven Spielberg you think of Kathleen Kennedy. While the producers don't get the press that directors do in our culture I know that a large part of the filmmaking process is about overcoming obstacles. Someone once said a film isn’t just made, a film is forced into creation. Mayran is my right hand man who enables me to overcome any obstable in order to get my vision on film. Without Mayran, nothing gets done, no obstacles are overcome and Mars Productions just wouldn't be the great place it is”
“You will have to excuse my bias here, but Ross is nothing short of a creative genius. He pads this genius with an insatiable appetite and understanding of things technical relating to the craft of making commercials and films. So not only does he come up with incredible concepts, he also knows how he will execute his production. His skills are best appreciated when you watch him interact with creatives at agencies or on our films at concept stage. I’ve stopped counting the number of times I have witnessed his taking an idea that seemed pretty static and blah to begin with and turning it into something of epic proportions. What’s even more compelling is how he excites the people he works with. You somehow leave a discussion with him having no doubts that with Ross the only limiting factor is your own imagination.”
