Kent Fuselier
- Executive
- Producer
Kent Fuselier was born in Houston, Texas to unknown parents and adopted 3 days later by parents Palmer and Virginia Fuselier. Fuselier was moved to New York shortly after where for the first 7 years of his life he lived in Buffalo, New York and Hartford, Connecticut. By age 8 Fuselier moved again to Palos Verdes, California where he lived down the street from actor Chuck Norris and a number of other celebrities. By age 13 Fuselier moved again to Englewood, Colorado and again to West port, Connecticut before moving to Carthage Texas to attend High School. Carthage, Texas is where actors and singers like Jim Reeves, Linda Davis, and Brandon Rhyder grew up. The bulk of Fuselier's childhood traveling was due to his father Palmer Fuselier's position at Mobil Oil, then vice-president of the company with some 50 thousand employees under his direct management.
Fuselier played in the high school band with singer songwriter Brandon Rhyder and would later executive produce the first live recording for him in Tyler, Texas some 20 years later. The magazine Texas Monthly describes Brandon Rhyder as, "more beloved by his fans than any other Texas Singer-Songwriter since Jim Reeves," as an illusion to both singers being from the city of Carthage. Fuselier also rode the school bus and was very close friends with Randal Reeder, who ironically would get his start in acting with Chuck Norris on the set of 'Walker Texas Rangers', working with the actor that Fuselier grew up living next to. Reeder would also, in addition to acting in nearly 100 titles including king of the hill, idiocracy, Harold and Kumar, Reno 911, and many more, work later in life for Fuselier as a Writer, Actor, Director, and Producer.
Fuselier moved into mainstream music performance when he joined the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets to play in the world renowned Texas A&M Military Marching Band. This was during the first Iraq war where a number of Fuselier's college roommates and friends were pulled into the war due to the military contracts to keep them in the band on government scholarship. During Fuselier's time at A&M in the band, he routinely performed in front of live audiences from 60 thousand to 97 thousand, and simulcast to ESPN in front of audiences of excess of 35 million. Fuselier also worked as a Firefightning Paramedic during this time and was honored on the cover of Texas EMS in 1993 for his work with Critical Incident Stress Debriefing.
Fuselier studied both Electrical Engineering and Nuclear Physics while at A&M. Texas A&M is the only university in the country with an operational nuclear reactor and small Collier on campus. This would pave the way later for Fuselier's work with NASA telecommunications and designing the operational backbone for fib-re infrastructure for the internet service for most of eastern Europe and western Russia. Fuselier had trained extensively to install the Large Hadron Collider in Waxahachie, Texas but after the project was moved to CERN Switzerland Fuselier moved with the project to design the LHC's tel-com backbone which would also serve as the internet infrastructure for Europe and the former USSR states when the Collier was not running. Fuselier's principal contribution to the project was the development of robots that would burrow underground in Metropolitan cities and inject-mould a casting when pulled back out that would serve as conduit for thousands of pairs of fib-re optics while leaving surface streets and buildings unaffected by the work.
Fuselier's first and only child was born on February 13, 1997, exactly 6 months apart to the day of his father's birthday of August 13. Fuselier's child was named Kent William Fuselier and would spend a great deal of his childhood involved in his father's entertainment projects which began to spring up everywhere. During the late 90's, Fuselier designed, built, and co-owned one of the most advanced interactive gun ranges in the country, and the only gun range in the city of Dallas, DFW Gun Club. Fuselier lived in an 11 bedroom estate in University Park during this time on St. Andrews Street Behind Preston Ave. Fuselier designed and built many entertainment projects during this time of his life including Night Clubs like 2009 and 2011 in Dallas, many in Deep Ellum, Lounges and Children's amusement parks like Planet Pizza in Plano, Texas and renovations to gentleman's clubs like 'The Men's Club" on Northwest Highway in Dallas. Fuselier's construction company is known as "The Kent Engineering Company" and Fuselier served as both Principal, Master Electrician, Master Plumber, OSSF License Holder, and Commercial Cryogenics License Holder.
During this time Fuselier also began executive producing and recording for Sony in Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia where Fuselier learned to speak German and Vietnamese, in addition to already speaking English and Spanish. After roughly 5 years working in executive management, Fuselier purchased the European licensing arm, Diire Records and moved it back to Texas, operating it as CEO. After picking up several rounds of Angel funding to expand the company into film production, Fuselier advanced the company from its historical name Diire Records into what is present day, Diire Records and Film. Operating from the radio station complex where stars like Jim Reeves, Johnny Cash, and Elvis Presley spent years and years of their early careers getting started, Fuselier began executive producing multiple hits, even doing much ghost writing for different music including Lollipop, the Ice Cream Man, and many more while running a cast and crew of 60 to 75 producers, directors, actors, assistants, and support personnel in Northeast Texas.
Fuselier worked hard to lobby Austin to match Louisiana's film and music benefit packages which had historically moved massive amounts of personnel, budgets and projects to places like Shreveport and Baton Rouge by demonstrating his family's farm and Panola County's 5 mile air strip located just 30 minutes from Shreveport on the Texas Border could seduced these crews to move across the border to Texas and in 2008 Fuselier's long-time friend and then Texas Governor Rick Perry signed into law a bill which offered music producers, TV and film producers, and video game producers virtually complete tax-free status to operate and hire in Texas and incentives on projects of up to 35% and after some 200 years of Texas's existence without a single major film being shot in Texas, so many projects moved into the state that it bankrupted the Superfund set up for the project in just 6 short years. Film projects in this area of Northeast Texas during this time were titles like, "For Whom he Tolls", "Boggy Creek", "Sleepy Jefferson Nights", "The Texas Producer", "Killin and Grillin", "KNG Chronicles", and even "Bernie" was filmed in Carthage, Texas with Matthew Mcconaughey, Jack Black, Shirley McClain, and Richard Linklater. Matthew Mcconaughey went to school with Fuselier in the nearby town of Longview, Texas, which is also home of the singer Neal McCoy.
Fuselier participated from day 1 in the development and industry integration of the Canadian company Movieset.com. The company received major funding and taunted itself as an industry 'behind-the-scenes' tool for low budget movie producers which allowed the general public to interact with the creation of TV and film as never before. The company went bankrupt in 2014 and Fuselier has purchased the rights for its successor to be moved to Texas. At present the company has received two rounds of early funding and expects to reopen the site Movie-Set.com as early as March 2017 with Fuselier at the helm as the company's CEO. The new company integrates Fuselier's long-time tradition of placing private 24 chair movie theaters in executive's homes all over the planet, then allowing his studios and others to connect to these theaters allowing executives full control over every aspect of the film making process from wardrobe to makeup to the writers and online editors as well as other executives in their movie theaters. Fuselier designed and scripted the software which allows executives to collaborate in their own homes as if playing a multi-player video game and having the movie-set with as many as 15 camera feeds streaming to every executives theater, then the theater's connected with each other, and reducing the need for additional personnel like assistants, editors, extra trailers and rooms no longer necessary as they are all working live, remotely.
