Diane Clemenhagen – Producer

Producer, Diane Clemenhagen has earned a reputation for creating high quality events, records and has earned the moniker, “The Wolf” on her first feature.

Her first feature PERMANENT VACATION with partner, writer/director W. Scott Peake, was adapted from The UK Novel “What We Did On Our Holidays” written by prolific British author Geoff Nicholson. This dark comedy stars Frank Harper (Stock and Two Smoking Barrels), Gina Bellman (“Coupling: The Series”), David Carradine (Kill Bill), Charles Shaugnessy (The Nanny) and Michael Bowen (Kill Bill). It is the story of a father’s last chance at a happy family vacation before his children grow up. What happens on this vacation is a disturbing ride and will keep you on the edge of your seat!

Producing under Whatever Entertainment, LLC, the second script O. P. Tex, a dark comedy set in the Wild West is currently being written.

Earlier in her career, Diane produced music events in Victoria and Vancouver, Canada under Philosophers of Funk Productions. These events showcased the top DJ’s in the world, Carl Cox, Paul Oakenfold and Frankie Knuckles to name a few. Transitioning from events to record producer was a natural move and Diane set up Phatt Phunk Records in Los Angeles. Producing 15 compilation CD’s and 32 vinyl records in just 2 years, Phatt Phunk was one of the most prolific electronic music labels of its time. After securing lucrative distribution deals with Tower Records, Virgin Megastores, Amazon, as well as regional distributors, Diane finalized a deal with K-Tel for all distribution.

Diane obtained her degree in Business Administration in Victoria, BC. She owned her own business, Blue Point Communications, specializing in consulting and marketing for small businesses.

As well as her producing duties at Whatever Entertainment, Diane is the Director of Sales & Marketing at Trade Show Temps, she volunteers at the writing center 826LA, is taking Spanish at UCLA, training for her 2nd 1/2 Ironman, a Certified Master Scuba Diver, and hoping that she finally scores a goal in her Sunday co-ed soccer league.
