Derek Sante has entertainment in his bones. From an early age, he’s been fascinated with the art of storytelling. Starting in radio at the age of 18, he hosted music and talk shows along the West Coast until he was selected to be an Executive Producer for Ryan Seacrest’s radio show in Los Angeles. Afterwards, he hosted multiple national radio and TV shows specializing in film and television news. For many years, he has been on the red carpet scene and sitting down with A-List stars for exclusive one-on-one interviews. He’s gotten up close and personal with Tom Cruise, Lady Gaga, Robert Redford, Taylor Swift, Ryan Reynolds, Keanu Reeves, President Obama, and many more. Along the way, he founded Review Nation, which provides content for massive media brands, including iHeartMedia, Regal Cinemas, Scripps Television Network, and JustWatch. He’s comfortable both on camera and behind the scenes, producing entertainment programming including shows, commercials, and music videos, much of it under his own production banner. These days, when he’s not at festivals or conventions, Derek can be found in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, reviewing films, covering trending entertainment topics & hosting the beloved shows. Derek has been a CCA member since 2008.
