remaining with the company for eleven years. At the time of his hiring,
Propaganda had produced many videos, but had just begun entering the
commercial market, and had produced only one or two low budget fea-
tures. During the period of Clawson's employment, the company was
involved with numerous commercials and videos, and between thirty
and forty television shows and feature films, including Being John
Malkovich, Candyman, The Game, Kalifornia, Nurse Betty, Ruby, and Sleepers.
The company was eventually sold to Seagram, and Clawson relocated
to New York City to become president of Shooting Gallery Productions.
Shooting Gallery had a big postproduction infrastructure and strong rela-
tionships with independent filmmakers, and was looking for a way to
exploit those relationships and build commercial and music video divi-
sions. Clawson was charged with the expansion. Under his leadership the
company also managed production for film companies coming into the
city to shoot New York segments. Unfortunately, the company folded six
months after he arrived. Clawson remained in New York for a few more
months as president of Lot 47 Productions. When production business
suddenly dried up in the aftermath of September 11, 2001, he returned to
Los Angeles.
In January 2002, Clawson was appointed president of the newly
formed Rialto Production Group.
