Get Me Out Productions is a Los Angeles-based company that specializes in unscripted, documentary and docuseries. Their lineup includes the streaming Crackle series Men of West Hollywood, one of the service's most popular original series; it also owns the court show Eye For An Eye.[1]
The company was founded by Akim Anastopoulo, also known as "Judge Extreme Akim" in Eye For An Eye, and Hali Anastopoulo, his daughter. The Anastopoulos are Greek-American from South Carolina.[1]
