A      love      of      classic      entertainment prompted     Emmy®     Award     winning producers     René      Reyes     &     Shane Rosamonda     to     establish     the     Los Angeles                                        based                                        POLLYO ENTERTAINMENT,               a boutique          multi-platform          artist management        and        entertainment company     with     a     diverse     array     of television,    stage    and    music    credits. Now   entering   their   twentieth   year   of   partnership   and   collaboration,   the duo    notes    “it’s    thrilling    to    experience    a    performance    by    a    terrific entertainer,    whether    it    be    a    classic    television    appearance,    a    rare recording   or   a   live   performance,   it   never   fails   to   hit   us   in   the   same way.   We’re   compelled   to   shine   a   light   on   it,   give   it   some   context,   and most   importantly   share   it   in   the   best   way   possible.”   That’s   really   what drives   our   motto   to   ‘make   classics   pop’   –   a   shared   enthusiasm   and commitment     to     celebrate     the     artistry     of     some     truly     unique entertainment    personalities    and    properties,    and    to    create    new opportunities for their creative legacies to endure. It’s    that    personal    investment    and    hands-on    approach    that    informs every   aspect   of   what   we   do.   Whether   we’re   shooting   a   documentary, conceiving   a   stage   show,   producing   a   CD   or   DVD,   or   designing   an   ad campaign   –   we   are   thrilled   by   the   work   of   the   artists   that   we   have   the honor   of   representing   and   collaborating   with   and   are   passionate   about sharing their artistry in new ways with new audiences. Our   mentors   Ken   and   Mitzie   Welch   have   been   a   constant   source   of inspiration   in   our   approach   to   every   project   we've   been   lucky   to   be   a part   of   from   Las   Vegas   to   London.   They   are   the   genius   team   who composed   music   and   special   material   for   seven   seasons   of   The   Carol Burnett   Show    as   well   as   wrote,   produced   and/or   directed   material,   live shows   and   TV   specials   for   Barbra   Streisand,   Barry   Manilow,   Dolly Parton,   Julie   Andrews,   Lucille   Ball,   Robin   Williams,   Bea   Arthur,   Cher, Ray    Charles,    Lorna    Luft,    Ben    Vereen,    Linda    Lavin,    Bob    Hope, Suzanne   Somers,   Hal   Linden   and   many   more   and   together   earned fourteen   Emmy ®    Award   nominations   and   eight   wins.   We   had   the incredibly   great   fortune   of   being   recipents   of   their   loyal   friendship   and they   also   generously   shared   their   knowledge   and   experience   with   us for   over   10   years.   We   learned   a   lot   from   them...by   instruction   yes,   but even more so by observation. We’re   often   asked   why   the   name   Polly   O.?   Our   company   is   named   in honor    of    Shane’s    maternal    grandmother,    Pauline    ‘Polly’    Oldfield (1933-2008),     who     was     an     unwavering     and     loving     supporter throughout   his   life.   For   us,   her   name   brings   to   mind   the   happiness   we hope   every   Polly   O.   project   conveys.   We   couldn’t   think   of   a   better namesake. Rene   and   Shane   won   Emmy®   Awards   for   producing   and   writing   the acclaimed   2008   musical   documentary   Mitzi   Gaynor:   Razzle   Dazzle! The   Special   Years    and   have   since   produced,   directed,   written   and edited   additional   musical   TV   docs   Christmas   with   The   King   Family Reunion    Special    and    The    Lennon    Sisters:    Same    Song,    Separate Voices.    The   have   produced   live   stage   shows   for   Mitzi   Gaynor,   The Four   King   Cousins,   Jean-Paul   Vignon   and   consulted   on   many   others.
