BARRY G. GAINES
CEO
SCREENWRITER, DIRECTOR, PRODUCER AND EDITOR

Hello everyone,
I hope you're doing well.
To tell you a little bit about myself, I'm a seasoned filmmaker, executive producer, and media innovator with over two decades of experience in both creative production and technical operations. Throughout my career, I have built a reputation for delivering high-quality film, video, and live event productions that consistently exceed expectations while balancing artistry with efficiency.
As Founder of Gaines Entertainment, LLC, I have produced and directed a
wide range of projects—from corporate videos and commercials to award-
winning independent films—while personally managing everything from script
development to post-production editing, sound design, and color grading. My
hands-on approach ensures every project carries both creative impact and
technical precision.
In addition, I serve as Chairman and CEO of GainesCon Media, Inc., a 501(c)
(3) nonprofit dedicated to empowering independent filmmakers. I established The Dragon Award to spotlight outstanding creative talent and have successfully led large-scale, hybrid (live and virtual) events that connect audiences and creators worldwide.
My unique blend of entertainment expertise and technical knowledge has also
been demonstrated in my role as I.T. Specialist and Media Producer for the
Town of Longboat Key. There, I combined technical problem-solving with media production by overseeing video communications, implementing VoIP systems, and ensuring seamless digital operations across the organization.
Whether directing a film, leading a production team, or optimizing technical
infrastructure, I bring creativity, leadership, and a forward-thinking mindset to
every project. I would be delighted to connect with you to discuss how my skills and experience can contribute to your organization’s goals.
