Endorphin Entertainment "EE" was created in 2007 by Richard A. "Rick" Cohen and Christopher "Chris" Pullaro and sold in 2021. We were an all purpose production company formerly located in Atlanta and Los Angeles. Mr. Cohen still retains the EE name for purposes of personal projects he's still developing. EE specialized in long and short form documentaries as well as reality TV and independent TV and feature films. We liked to say that EE was all "about the people more than the sport." We captured great moments in the lives of athletes/adventurers/risk takers who are interesting, three-dimensional characters within their sport, adventure racing genre or profession. Every story that we covered was much more than a one-dimensional highlight reel. Our stories were engaging, raw, meaningful and all encompassing.  They touched the heart and soul of the human spirit.

Rick Cohen is an adventurer himself- Having competed in some of the most dangerous endurance events in the US: Death Race, The Ultimate Suck, and Super Spartan to name a few. In 2016, he was inducted into the National Amateur Baseball Hall of Fame, not only for his managerial skills (8 national championships), his play, but also for his contribution to the sport of baseball through his documentary films. That same year, Rick was the first person to circumnavigate the island of Lanai on foot, all 48 miles of it! Spiritual as well, after practicing yoga for 9 years, he received his certification in Vinyasa Krama completing in 2019.

Mr. Cohen has two projects on the docket for 2025- Superbird and Massillon (both listed in current projects) and looks forward to earning that Emmy and/or Oscar nomination.

Rick believes that "Everyone’s got a plan until you get punched in the face. However, those punches, i.e. hardships, serve mostly as a catalyst for inspiring us to be the best that we can be. Just keep showing UP...and eventually you will earn your victories."
