His TEDx talk on “How the Metaverse will change Filmmaking” was an insightful vision of the future. Bloom grew up in a house filled with laughter as his father wrote comedy shows: "All in The Family," "Welcome Back Kotter," "Chico and the Man" and "Jonathan Winters." His father taught him one guiding principal: “It’s not what you know, it’s how you use your imagination.”

He built strategic marketing plans for all media platforms and produced original animation for the movies: Ratatouille, Wall-E, Toy Story 3, UP, Tangled, Ice Age 2, Alice in Wonderland, Cars 2, Tron, X-Men 3 and Reel Steel. In 2005 Bloom sold an original sci-fi thriller screenplay titled “The Savior” to Miramax Films.

Prior to executive work he spent 14 years as a director of music videos, commercials, movie trailers and episodic television. His first big break was in the mid 80’s at the advent of MTV as creative director in the newly formed video division at Capitol Records. His first college summer job was an imaging technician at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. If not busy with work and family, he spends his time kiteboarding, stock investing and writing.
