Smithard was signed under contract as a screenwriter at Universal Pictures. Spielberg then executive produced his first film, "The Scream" (2000), which led to a call from Francis Ford Coppola's American Zoetrope Company, who hired the 22-year-old as a writer.
Smithard began directing commercials and soon took the reins as director and cinematographer on 80 campaigns for Amtrak, the New York Stock Exchange, Mercedes Benz, U.S Army and dozens of others. He recently wrote, produced and photographed the History Channel documentary "Avalanche" (2000) and is currently editing Intrepid (2000), a historical record of world conflict through the eyes of the famous U.S. battleship.
Smithard has recently completed producing, writing and directing the 2005 release feature film Breaking the Fifth (2004), starring Tony Award- Winner Frank Langella.
