While working as a runway and print model to finance her college education, Gailee Walker Wells caught the attention of entrepreneur, Nadia Hill, who, with her sister, wanted to open a modeling school in Houston. Gailee agreed to develop the curriculum and train teachers. May-Hill Modeling Agency and School has become one of the most successful in the country.
With a B. A. in theatre, speech, and English from Trinity University and masters training from Balliol College at Oxford, Gailee began a ten year career in all facets of theatre, television, film and commercials. She was often struck by the lack of presence, communications skills, and confidence of clients in the business world who hired her to promote their companies or corporations, and in 1993 she created Quest Studios to offer the opportunity to the business community to have a place to develop communications skills.
in 1996, Gailee moved to Los Angeles to write and direct. She wrote the script for Moving Emily, which starred Wendi Malick and Harry Groener and premiered in the 1997 Hollywood Film Festival. There she created The Reel Thing, training actors and developing and shooting their demo reels. When a friend asked if she would work with his boss who was in danger of losing a major client, she agreed, and began teaching communications and pitching skills to Hollywood producers and directors. She also traveled nationally, training the sales offices of an e-commerce corporation.
When Gailee met Eugene Wells in 2002, she once again put aside her determination to concentrate on writing and directing to help him train clients by writing a manual for Professional Solutions, his successful software program for the beauty, resort and medical professions. Together, Eugene and Gailee traveled across the country producing workshops and training seminars.
When Eugene received two offers to buy his business, they moved from Los Angeles to the Central Coast where they have combined their talents and experience with the creation of 30 frames per second, inc.
An award-winning actor, writer, director, and producer, Gailee's creative and communications skills, combined with Eugene's technical expertise, offer Central Coast individuals, companies, and corporations opportunities for one-of-a-kind, audience-capturing, relationship-building marketing and educational products.
Eugene Wells
In 1970, Eugene graduated from UCLA with a degree in math/computer science. He was then hired to computerize the United States' largest tile subcontracting company, Selectile. Based in Los Angeles, Selectile employed over 250 people, had 7 locations, and did approximately $10 million in annual sales. In 1973, not yet 30, Eugene obtained an equity interest in the company, and with the aid of some very fortuitous events, acquired an 85% ownership within two more years. He successfully ran the business for 15 more years, setting several company sales and profit records during that time.
Selling his interest in Selectile to his partner in 1990, Eugene looked for new challenges and formed a software development company called Selectcomputer, Inc. After exploring different aspects of the newly burgeoning computer industry, he discovered an undeveloped, niche market --- the beauty salon and spa business. Beginning as a one-man operation, Eugene developed his software program, Professional Solutions, that managed the front desk operations of salons, spas and medical clinics. Being the first Windows program available to that industry, the program became an instant success. When he sold this business in 2002, Professional Solutions was the number one selling program in the United States. Available in several foreign languages, the software was installed in more than 5,000 businesses throughout the world.
He has now set his sights on the small, independent digital video production market. With his business and computer skills, he is a natural to handle the technical aspects for 30 frames per second, inc. (editing, software and web-site development, lighting, sound, etc., as well as, corporate affairs and accounting). With his technical skills, and his wife's industry background, experience and abilities, a perfect team has been formed to provide the highest level of professional products and services.
