WELCOME
TO BURNT PEAKS
Burnt Peaks’ road trip began in 1992 when James Mairs
started JAM Video Productions, a NYC-based boutique videography company which
produced a variety of study tapes for advertising agencies including Chiat/Day,
MNH, FCB, and The Ryan Partnership.
In
1994, he co-founded Burly Bear, a college cable television network that is now
considered the nation’s premier college marketing and TV company. James’
irreverent attitude and creative programming attracted the interest of SNL's
Lorne Michaels, who purchased a majority interest in Burly Bear in 1997. He
has written, produced and directed more than 125 episodes of Half-Baked,
the #1 college television program the last eight years running.
Ready
for the creative freedom of a smaller shop, James formed Burnt Peaks Productions
in February 2000.
