About Avi Haas

Overseeing day-to-day, worldwide operations out of OFS' New York City and Los Angeles offices, Haas, known for his team building skills, has utilized his extensive contacts in entertainment and international finance to assemble an elite lineup of industry leaders to advise the company as members of OFS’ senior management team, Executive Investment Board and Advisory Committee. With more than 25 years of experience in independent film, television and theater production – as well as a stellar background in business management in entertainment and from a highly successful, early career in the cellular industry – Haas brings a wealth of both creative and financial expertise to his role at OFS. Since 2015, Haas has focused his attention on the global development and launch of OFS and its first fund, The Origo Fund, basing the company’s structure on a principle belief—In order to be the best fiduciary of a client’s investment, a media financing company needs to be led by a team of professionals who understand the ramifications of financial decisions on the creative process and, concurrently, that their combined knowledge enables them to understand the ramifications creative decisions have on financial viability. Under his own banner, Haas Filmed Entertainment, launched in 1997, Haas develops and produces his own projects, as well as provides consulting services, having worked with some of entertainment’s leading production entities, including Brooksfilms (“The Producers”), Cruise-Wagner Productions/Warner Bros. Pictures (“Without Limits”), Warner Bros. Television ("Mr. & Mrs. Smith"), Grand Illusions (the award-winning, cult horror classic “100 Feet”). Currently, he has a slate of projects in development with Rhino Films, among others.
