An experienced producer/writer/director, Ross Kaiman has explored nearly every facet and format of production. As SVP of Creative and Executive Producer at Los Angeles-based Painless Productions, Kaiman develops, manages and produces several series, including fifteen seasons of "The Dead Files," and its companion series "Dead Files Revisited" and "The Dead Files Revealed", two seasons of the comedy-infused paranormal talk show "Fright Club" starring Jack Osbourne and The Ghost Brothers, two seasons of the genre-busting "Ghost Brothers: Lights Out," and "The Holzer Files," based on the recently discovered case files of America's first ghost hunter, all for Travel Channel/Discovery+. Other recent projects include five seasons of the gripping Investigation Discovery true-crime series, "Reasonable Doubt"; the Disney+/NatGeo Wild series "Out There with Jack Randall," following Steve Irwin's protege; three National Geographic SharkFest specials, "Man vs. Shark," "Most Wanted Sharks" and "Sharks That Eat Everything"; and HGTV's "Hot Properties: San Diego". Kaiman's work at Painless also includes the top-rated, darkly comedic Lifetime Movies/LMN series "My Crazy Ex," and its spin-off series "My Crazy Sex," as well as several seasons of the popular horror-themed recreation series "My Haunted House," airing on A&E, LMN, Destination America and Travel Channel; the highly-rated original Lifetime Movie "House of Darkness" as well as its sequel, "House of Darkness: New Blood"; the terrifying recreation series "Evil Things" for TLC (re-airing on Travel Channel as "Haunted Things"); Discovery Channel's "Highway To Sell" automotive series; two seasons of Travel Channel's "Sand Masters," a comedic build-and-reveal series filmed in exotic locations around the world; and Travel Channel's series of explosive "Sand Blasters" competition specials. Before his tenure at Painless, Kaiman produced live morning television (FX's critically acclaimed "Breakfast Time," hosted by Tom Bergeron), talk shows ("The Keenen Ivory Wayans Show"), game shows ("Love Connection" and "Let's Make A Deal"), court shows ("Moral Court"), hidden camera pranks ("Card Sharks") and location-based series in the U.S., Europe, Central America, Australia and Asia ("I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!" and "Adventure Crazy" starring Phil Keoghan of "The Amazing Race"). Kaiman was writer/producer/director of TLC's Emmy-nominated series "Junkyard Wars" and composed and performed the musical scores for two independent features. As Senior Vice President of Production at VideoJug.com, Kaiman was responsible for the development, creation, and delivery of nearly 40,000 "How To" and expert advice videos, while managing syndication and creative partnerships with powerful brands like Nike, MSN and Schering-Plough.
