Career

The shorts featured and were directed by four time Emmy Award winner Chris Elliott.[9] Hall was also a production assistant on several feature films in the 1990s and assistant director on the television show Sports Theater with Shaquille O'Neal in 1998.[1]

In 2000 he founded EntertainmentCareers.net, which connects job seekers to major movie and music companies.[10][11] Since then Hall has been interviewed regarding the Entertainment Industry, small business, internet business issues including marketing and customer service and has served on panel discussions on careers and the entertainment industry.[10][12] [13]
