Biography:

Omar Parker is an American sports group owner and former producer, content creator, author, chill guy, and serial chip & dip eater. Parker is a big believer in work smart not hard. His love of film began when he watched the greatest film ever created, Rush Hour 2. After that moment, everything was downhill for him. He had experienced peak content. In high school he graduated with really OK grades and a terrible attendance record that got him into his dream school. A state university in a ski town, that at the time, was one of the drunkest cities in America. At 17 he began producing content with the critically acclaimed Puppetmania, about a group of poor puppets storm the castle of El Senor, a brutal dictator who has hoarded resources and luxuries from his people. He graduated from Montana State University in 2019 with honors in film & photography somehow, despite making a play in junior year that was so bad it temporarily shut down a 50 year old theater program. While in college he started Egerton Crescent Productions with Charles Burt his producing partner. Together they would produce as a duo and with multiple production companies, 21 features, 26 short films, and 4 mini series in a little over a decade. With titles landing at every festival under the sun including Sundance, Cannes, Tribeca, TIFF, Sitges, and even becoming Academy Award nominated. The titles showed in over 100 nations, while also being acquired by companies like Gravitas Ventures. These films featured talent like Michael Madsen, Eric Roberts, Fred Melamed, Barry Bostwick, Lesley Ann Warren, Jane Kaczmarek, George Lazenby, Michael Pare, Forrest Goodluck, Daniel Baldwin, Kevin Sorbo, Tom Sizemore, Martin Klebba, Larry Hankin, Danielle Harris, & Brinke Stevens. They also... somehow... were able to be a production company on an Academy Award nominated short film. In 2022, Parker became a producer at TBNR. TBNR was a Forbes top 10 YouTube conglomerate of 7 channels with 70 million+ subscribers run by Preston and Brianna Arsement, with nearly 100 full time employees. While there he produced many videos and shorts that amassed over 1 billion views and frequently hit top spots on the Youtube trending page, leading a full time production team of 20+ employees. Parker helped with brand deals for the channel with companies like Warner Bros, Paramount, Lego, Air Up, Zuru, & GameStop. He also aided in collaborations with other YouTubers like Mr. Beast, Mark Rober, Unspeakable, ZHC, & Lachlan. In 2023 he began his own social media brand known as Tumbleweed. Through the brand he gained millions of followers on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, worked with global hotel brands, and took production worldwide with places like France, Turkey, Japan, Greece, UAE, and more. With this brand he also somehow became an Amazon bestselling author for his book, "Inebriated Haikus" that he wrote in a drunken stupor at a bar in Texas. In 2027 Parker retired from the film and television industry to manage PB&J sports group, his MLB holdings company. His cited reasons were pursing "an actual business" and "wanting to stay out of LA at all costs."
