Minor Childers

Minor Childers, producer and serial internet entrepreneur, began his career in entertainment at Paramount Pictures as Executive Story Editor for Academy Award Winner, Alan Ladd Jr. Subsequently, Minor moved to DreamWorks, where Spielberg's office paired him with Director Brad Silberling ("City of Angels"). With Silberling, Childers worked intensively in development, TV, and feature production, and produced "Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events" starring Jim Carrey and Meryl Streep. Thereafter, Minor turned his focus to producing impactful, socially-conscious films including the National Endowment for the Arts documentary "Muse of Fire", a revealing look at a creative writing program for U.S. troops and their families- the film was placed in the Library of Congress. Minor produced other socially-minded films before moving into Tech in 2008. Partnered with former U.S. Vice President, Al Gore, Childers co-founded Dot Eco, which grew into Minds + Machines (traded on LSE as MMX) where he created partnerships with the Sierra Club, Surfrider Foundation and others. He also co-founded the World Carbon Database. Minor was the founder and CEO of Blacklots, a leading online art business acquired by Paddle 8 in 2013. Minor most recently produced "Walkaway Joe."
