About Third Rail Media
Spanning fictional story, documentary, info-tainment, politics and cutting-edge culture, Third Rail Media has been behind the camera providing it all.

Incorporated in 2003 - and with over 15 years of industry experience - Third Rail was formed by producer, cameraman and editor Mike Skiff to explore captivating and challenging subject matter.

Anyone who's ridden the subway should know it is dangerous to touch the "third rail".

"We want to dig deep into the underbelly of our culture, to take our cameras and microphones into the nooks, crannies and crevices of humanity - where there are fascinating stories waiting to be told."

Mike Skiff is a recognized photojournalist, having LAPD press credentials through Manmade Multimedia. He's also covered Secret Service clearance events such appearances by George W. Bush, Jimmy Carter and Dick Cheney.

Mike Skiff and Third Rail Media have worked with Manmade Multimedia for many years to create the shows "Reel Hollywood" and "Reel Gay", as well co-producing three official "International Mr. Leather" contest videos. Much of the footage used on this site was derived from this collaboration and appears courtesy of Manmade Multimedia.
