A working proposalPrepared for Jack Berner · August 2026

Eric Roberts. Robert Carradine. Vanessa Angel. Your newest release landed days ago. jackberner.com still says ‘coming soon.’

This is a working proposal, not a brochure. Before writing a word of it, we did what every casting director and every journalist now does first: we looked you up — on Google, on IMDb, on the one channel you actively run today. Here's what we found, and exactly what we'd do about it.

What we found

First — how we got here

You don't know us, so here's the honest version. We're a studio that builds visibility infrastructure for working talent. This August, while mapping ensemble casts on recent indie horror-comedy releases, your name surfaced attached to Desert Fiends 2 — credited alongside Eric Roberts, Robert Carradine, and Vanessa Angel. From there the record kept going: The Twitter Files, Dinner with the Devil, Best Supporting Actors, Infernal, A Hard Place — six real releases in under three years. We cross-checked all of it against IMDb, your own CanvasRebel Magazine interview, and the FindLaw attorney directory profile for your law practice — three independent sources, all describing the same person: a 25-year Pacific Northwest trial attorney who returned to acting after his mother's death in 2022. We went looking for your own site next and found one already registered in your name — jackberner.com — sitting on WordPress.com's default “coming soon” splash page, never built out. Instead of a cold message that says “we build websites,” we did the full workup we'd do for a paying client and put it on this page. Everything on it traces back to a public, verifiable source, checked twice. If any detail is wrong, that's exactly the problem we're describing — tell us and we'll show you how we fix it at the source.

Your credits back this up. Since 2023 you've built a genuinely active second career alongside a 25-year law practice: The Twitter Files (2023); Dinner with the Devil (2024) — “Mayor Ted,” also Executive Producer; Best Supporting Actors (2024) — “Grooms,” also Executive Producer; Infernal (2024–2025), an ensemble horror-comedy with a Las Vegas premiere; A Hard Place (2025) — “Carl,” also Executive Producer, released theatrically in Canada; and Desert Fiends 2 (2026), a wide ensemble cast alongside Eric Roberts, Robert Carradine, and Vanessa Angel, released digital and DVD August 25, 2026. Two more — Alien Horde and Clean Right Hook, in which you're credited as “Vladimir Popov” — are in post-production. Six releases, in under three years, and none of it lives on a page you own.

You already own your name online. It just doesn't say anything. We checked the way a casting director or a journalist would: we typed it in. jackberner.com resolves — the domain is registered to you — but the page itself is WordPress.com's default placeholder: title “jackberner.com,” body text “A bright idea, coming soon,” and a noindex, nofollow tag telling search engines not to bother. It has read that way since you registered it.

Meanwhile the one channel you actively run — Instagram @thejackberner, 274 followers, bio “Actor/producer/trial attorney” — is real, but low reach, and Desert Fiends 2 doesn't appear to have moved the needle there yet. If a casting director, a journalist, or a fan sees you in something and searches your name afterward, the two places most likely to answer — your own domain and your one acting-facing account — both come up short.

One engine, three doors

Below are three complete, working drafts of your site — live and clickable, built from your verified credits and career record before you'd paid us a dime. They're not sketches, and you're not being asked to buy three websites. Here's how they work:

  1. Pick the one that feels like you. Its design becomes your site; the best ideas from the other two fold into the final build. Nothing is wasted.
  2. Every door ships no matter which look you choose. Three different kinds of people need to find you this year — the casting directors and producers who search cold, the followers on your one active channel who don't yet know Desert Fiends 2 exists, and the search engines and AI assistants that currently have almost nothing to go on. Each gets its own entrance.
  3. All three entrances end at the same place: a real contact line, since none is published anywhere for you today.
Door 1 · The dual-identity case

The Brief

Twenty-five years as a trial attorney and a second career now six releases deep — most sites would pick one and quietly hide the other. This door doesn't. It presents both with the same precision you'd expect from a courtroom filing: a clean, verifiable record of who you are and what you've built, in both careers, without gimmick.

Draft — “The Brief” A precision-built identity page — the trial-attorney record and the six-release acting record, presented side by side, in one clean case file. See it live →
Door 2 · The reel & the ensemble record

After Hours

Desert Fiends 2 put you on screen with Eric Roberts, Robert Carradine, and Vanessa Angel. The Twitter Files, Dinner with the Devil, Best Supporting Actors, Infernal, and A Hard Place sit behind it — six real releases, genre and ensemble work, in under three years. This door is built for the people who search you after seeing you in something: the reel, the credit list, the cast you keep good company with.

Draft — “After Hours” A reel-forward genre-film page — the ensemble credits, the cast you share the screen with, and the six-release run since 2023. See it live →
Door 3 · Why you came back

The Return

You've said, in your own words, that you returned to acting after your mother's death in 2022. That's not a detail to bury under a credit list — it's the actual reason a 25-year trial attorney started building a second career at the pace you have. This door tells that story straight, once, and lets the six releases since speak for themselves.

Draft — “The Return” A quieter, narrative-first page built around your own account of why you came back to acting — the career throughline since 2022. See it live →

The first 90 days

  1. Rebuild the address you already ownjackberner.com is already registered to you — there's nothing to secure, no risk of losing it. We replace the WordPress.com “coming soon” splash with a real, hand-built site.
  2. Build the credit ledgerThe Twitter Files through Desert Fiends 2, plus Alien Horde and Clean Right Hook noted as in post-production, assembled in one verified place for the first time.
  3. Confirm what's actually currentSources disagree on Infernal's exact release year (2024 or 2025), and release dates for Alien Horde and Clean Right Hook aren't public yet — you're the tiebreaker on what's true today.
  4. Fix the Instagram gap@thejackberner's 274 followers currently have no reason to know Desert Fiends 2 exists. We connect the two — with your login, on a call, never posted without you.
  5. Wire a real contact lineNo self-published direct line exists for you today. This is the first one built — under your name, pointed at a booking funnel that actually works.

When you say yes — exactly what happens

A $500 deposit from a page that reached you cold is a real ask, so here is precisely what it sets in motion — day by day, account by account. No mystery, no “we'll figure it out later.”

  1. Same day — you get a person, not a receiptDeposit confirmation from Stripe (Ni Biashara LLC), plus a direct reply from Craig, in the same thread this reached you on, to schedule Working Session #1. Video call, your choice of time.
  2. Day 1–3 — Working Session #1 (about 60 minutes)We confirm the plan for jackberner.com — no new registration needed, just DNS access to point your existing domain at the new build — and you confirm the facts: exact credit years, current representation, the story you want told, since you're the tiebreaker on anything a source gets wrong; and you pick your direction from the three drafts.
  3. Week 1–2 — we build, you keep workingSite built on your chosen direction; reel, photos, and credit assets assembled from what you send us. Expect one short check-in, not homework.
  4. Day 10–14 — Working Session #2 (about 45 minutes)You review the finished site. Together, on one call, we create the accounts that make it findable — each one under your own email, with us on screen-share, never holding your passwords. The table below lists every account, so there are no surprises.
  5. Day 14–21 — launchSite live on jackberner.com, Instagram bio updated, balance due ($1,000). Your credit ledger and the real record of your work go live where search and AI assistants can find them — first scorecard 30 days later.

What we need from you

From youWhy
Confirm the credit list & the exact years (Infernal's release date, whatever's current on Alien Horde and Clean Right Hook)Directory sites disagree on some details — we only publish what you confirm is true.
DNS access to jackberner.comThe domain is already yours — we just need to point it at the new build, nothing to buy or transfer.
Reel and photo assets you have, or one afternoon to assemble themThe reel and photo layer is what casting directors actually screen first.
About two hours a weekThe courtroom and the sets stay yours. Everything else is ours.
VI

You own everything. No lock-in.

You've spent 25 years building a law practice one case at a time, and the last three building a second career the same way. So here's our structure, on principle:

AssetWhose name it's in
jackberner.comAlready yours — registered in your name, no transfer required
Hosting (Cloudflare)Your account. The site runs free-tier — it stays up even if you never pay anyone another dollar
Business & artist profilesCreated under your logins, your email
The site itself — code, design, contentYours outright on delivery

We work through delegated access you can revoke any day. If we part ways, everything keeps working — nothing to migrate, no hostage files. Cancel the service any month; what's built stays yours.

The Visibility Service — ongoing, cancel any month

$300/mo

What a publicist's retainer starts at $3,000 a month for, scoped to what actually moves bookings:

Every month: your newest credits wired into the site and profile the week they land; AI-assistant answer checks — what ChatGPT, Google, and Perplexity say when someone asks about you — logged and corrected; the identity layer maintained so search doesn't confuse you with anyone else.

Every season: the opportunity map refreshed — casting notices, press openings, and roles in your lane — delivered as a one-page brief.

And a one-page scorecard each month: search impressions on your name, answer checks, what changed. You'll never wonder what you're paying for.

Distribution — optional add-on

$200/mo · month-to-month

Your 274 Instagram followers are a real, if small, audience that right now has no idea Desert Fiends 2 exists. Every new credit and release can land natively on that account, on a steady cadence, alongside — not instead of — what you already post. No ad spend. Your work is the advertising; we give the audience it creates somewhere to see it.

Your first quarter, all-in: $2,400. One booking-fee release or one appearance covers it — and everything it builds stays yours.
Rather talk to a human first? Good instinct.

You cross-examine people for a living — we wouldn't send $500 to strangers off one web page either. So take the smaller step: 30 minutes with Craig, video or phone, no pitch beyond what's on this page. Pick any open slot on the calendar, reply in the thread this reached you on, or email twe@nibiashara.biz.

Book 30 minutes with Craig

This pricing is held for 21 days. One honest note, not a manufactured one: jackberner.com isn't going anywhere — it's already yours. But it's said “coming soon” since the day you registered it, and every day that continues is a day someone who just watched Desert Fiends 2 searches your name and finds a placeholder instead of your work. That's the only clock actually running here.

Twenty-five years trying cases in the Pacific Northwest, and a second career you built from nothing after your mother's death — six real releases in under three years, standing on screen next to Eric Roberts, Robert Carradine, and Vanessa Angel. The people ready to find you next deserve to find the same person you've already built.
