Trevor Chowning is a youthful veteran of the entertainment industry
with a career that spans virtually every facet of the business. By
creating his own music booking agency, Trevor represented many
influential producers, remixers and performers from the US, Europe and
Japan. Residing for several years in New York City allowed him the
opportunity to work as an A&R representative and record Label Manager
for the Warner-Brother's subsidiary label, AB Audio, in the heart of
the uber-hip East Village. Splitting time between NYC and a newly
re-opened Midwest office he was able to explore a new professional
direction that included film, television and music video projects with
Gus Van Sant and Rikki Lake among others. Trevor also gained screen
credits as Casting Director, Producer, and 2nd Assistant Director. It
was during this time that he first met Skyvue Pictures Co-Founder
Victor Buhler.
Upon opening offices for Direct Entertainment in Hollywood, California, Trevor propelled his interest in television and film into the role of Producer for documentaries, independent film and reality television projects while maintaining his position as a respected Personal Manager for young talent. Although the company represents a wide ranges of talent, Direct Entertainment claimed the title as the #1 management company in the specialized world of reality celebrities. Trevor now focuses exclusively on managing the careers of his clients and producing original programming concepts for television networks, film, online media and cable television.
In the spring of 2004 Skyvue Pictures shot the pilot presentation "Lone Star" for FOX Television, a show produced by Trevor Chowning and created, written and directed by Victor Buhler. "Lone Star" was produced in association with Hypnotic, well known for their hit series "The OC" and helmed by Director Doug Liman (Go, Bourne Identity, Swingers, Mr. & Mrs. Smith) .
In March 2005, Trevor joined actor Sean Astin (Lord of the Rings, Goonies) and filmmaker Angelo Pizzo (Rudy, Hoosiers, The Game of Their Lives) in Indiana to help push the IMIN initiative. It is a tax incentive bill that will help create a more suitable environment for big-budget, feature film productions. For his efforts Trevor was awarded the honorary title of "LA Liaison" for IMIN.
In 2006 Trevor began working with 20th Century Fox to promote the film and DVD release of "Walk the Line", a film about Johnny Cash's life. For this, Trevor located and began working with many of Cash's former friends and associates, including some of the men from his original band. While only intended to be a brief series of promotional events, Trevor was able to bring the band out of retirement limbo and successfully negotiated many endorsements, appearances and tours for the act.
Today, Trevor is working closely with writer Russ Littlefield and the two have completed several film concepts and screenplays in the horror and thriller genres. His background in the business, coupled with Littlefield's undeniable literary skills, has led to celebrity attachments and/or preproduction work for several of these projects.
As the consummate explorer, traveler and collector, Trevor has elected to spend less time in the office by handing much of the day-to-day business to his personally trained associates. He now focuses his efforts on independent film productions while his spare time remains dedicated to his charities, new business ventures and his own travels.
