Jeff Gomez is President and CEO of Starlight Runner Entertainment.
He currently creates greatly expanded back-stories for some of the Hollywood’s biggest franchises. These mythologies are now being used to maximize potential revenues by allowing franchises to be extended into feature film sequels, video games, comic books, novels and animation, as well as an array of consumer products. Jeff is also a producer of advanced media content, and is currently helping to launch new and established intellectual properties through sponsor-driven mobile and downloadable entertainment, as well as video-on-demand.
Gomez is known for contributing to the development of rich interactive worlds for Magic: The Gathering for Hasbro, The Black Belt Club based on the Scholastic book series, and the Turok Dinosaur Hunter video game series for Acclaim Entertainment. Jeff co-wrote and produced Mattel’s Hot Wheels World Race, a computer-animated series for Cartoon Network, which has more recently spawned a quartet of feature-length sequels called Hot Wheels AcceleRacers. More recently, The Walt Disney Company optioned one of Jeff’s own properties, the super hero action-adventure Team GoRizer, which will be unveiled in fall 2006 with a comic series in Disney Adventures magazine.
A native New Yorker of Puerto Rican heritage, Jeff is also determined to provide inspiration to young people worldwide with his Never Surrender seminars and curriculum. Teaming with international education and advocacy foundation Operation Respect, he conceived and produced the pro-tolerance video “Don’t Laugh at Me", featuring teen hip-hop star Baby Jay.
