Namesake Entertainment, COO/Producer
As co-founder, co-owner and managing partner of Namesake Entertainment, Bobby Neutz is responsible for overseeing the marketing and distribution of all projects. A seasoned business executive, Bobby’s organizational abilities, leadership skills, and innovative ideas have proven to be an integral key to the success and development of Namesake.
Tackling the daunting task of making a movie based on a popular book series, Bobby was instrumental in developing an innovative launch and marketing strategy for Left Behind: The Movie (2000). He served as executive producer for the film, which garnered high praise for selling more than four million video copies and became the number one selling independently produced video of 2000.
Welcoming the challenge of establishing Frank Peretti with his award winning “spiritual thrillers” as a brand for Namesake, Bobby produced Hangman’s Curse (2003), and spearheaded its grassroots marketing and promotions campaign by utilizing hundreds of radio stations, bookstores and media outlets.
Bobby served as producer on The Visitation which released on DVD in February 2006. The DVD was released in all major U.S. retailers and has sold more than 300,000 copies to date.
As part of Fox’s three-picture deal, Bobby has produced the first two films under the Fox deal: Thr3e, an unconventional thriller by highly acclaimed author Ted Dekker and House, a best-selling collaboration between Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker.
Bobby resides in Louisville, KY with his wife and four children.
