Career

Street's career in entertainment began in 1981 at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, where he started as a Steam Train Engineer at the Magic Kingdom on the Walt Disney World Railroad. He then began creating and producing TV and radio commercials for the various Disney Theme Parks. In 1993 he moved to Los Angeles and started working as a producer for Nickelodeon on the children's television shows What Would You Do? and All That . As founder and president of a Pasadena-based production company, The Spark Factory, Street has produced the TV shows Elvira's Raise the Dead, Betty White's Twelve Games of Christmas, Match Game Blank-A-Thon, Gong Show’s 25th Gong-a-versary, 25th Anniversary of Family Feud , and Spike TV's Hot Buttered Movie Special, hosted by Jennifer Garner.[ citation needed ]

In addition to television shows, Street is a short form director, having written, directed, and produced promos, commercials, and interstitial programs for cable and network television. He won the Promax BDA Awards for Directing and Producing Promos 2003 and 2006 and served as a judge for the 2005 Promax BDA Awards Home Entertainment Competition. [3] [4] [5]

In 1999 Street set out to create an interactive story that would use the Internet as a platform. [4] He came up with a factitious site that appeared to be set up by a man who was madly in love with a young woman named Julie, Fortheloveofjulie.com, which generated 300,000 page views in one day as well as the attention of the Los Angeles Police Department, Santa Monica Police Department and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. [6] [7] CNN referred to the site as “Red Hot”, while Wired News called it, "one of the Internet’s creepiest sites… and one of the most convincing hoaxes to hit the Net since the great virgin caper of 1998 at ourfirstime.com." [8] [6] Street went on to create additional story-based sites, My Son Peter (a site by a man who plays hide-and-seek with his son who has been dead), Zach Mango (Jon Cryer's character in The Trouble with Normal), and Fight Club (Tyler Durden's behind-the-scenes online journal.) [4]

French Maid TV was created in 2006 when Street expanded to include advertising built into the storyline. French Maid TV consisted of short videos that teach skills like How to Make a Video Podcast. Each video was sponsored and hosted by Revver. [9] [10] The six episodes have been viewed over 20 million times, have been featured iTunes and as one of YouTube's top videos. [11]
