John Guthrie(VIII)
- Producer
John Guthrie is an American and New Zealand-based ATVAS-award winning writer/producer, fine artist, author and inventor.
His writing was once described by Orson Welles as "The best I ever read". Production experience ranges from multi-screen 35mm slide shows (Kodak's best attended) to nuclear weapon fire control simulation for foreign navy and massed armor tank simulation for US Army (with tank simulators "fighting" each other, real time, with satellite link between Kansas and Germany). Documentary production is Guthrie's specialty and his earliest work helped open up the Japanese cable TV market to The Discovery Channel.
As an inventor, John's work spans decades. In 1979 he filed the Laser Radio trademark in California for a Youtube-like, audio/video "jukebox." The universal upload/download Laser Radio would be economically "powered" by transaction modeling: offsetting viewer consumption debits with the revenue credits earned their own downloaded productions (creating a fully interactive economy and social relationship between consumer and producer).
But by 2001, Guthrie's interest in transactional and micro economic modeling led him to define "Molecular Economics Technology" which was published by the University of Amsterdam Center for Non-linear dynamics in Economics and Finance (the paper was downloaded for 10 months by two Chinese universities and the Ministry of Commerce).
Right now, Guthrie is working on things too cool (and too close to operational release) to describe here..
For fun, John likes to drive open wheel formula race cars: Formula Renault 1.6, Formula 3 and Formula 1 (Benetton B-198 chassis with Judd V10 power). He's been known to burn Porsche brakes - literally- right down to ceramic rotors on demanding racetracks like Laguna Seca and Willow Springs.
Guthrie manages his family's charitable foundation, begun by his late father. As foundation treasurer and then president, John has grown the foundation's investment principal 20%, during the second worst economic downturn in U.S. history and has endowed 20-30 local non profits in his home town with over $7 million since 2003.
