Sinton also Executive Produced the documentary series American Gangster on BET, which was nominated for multiple NAACP Image Awards.
Sinton is also serving as EP on two new hit series for truTV. Full Throttle Saloon is a docu-soap with a wild side that heads to the legendary Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Cameras go inside the world's largest biker bar for the first time, to get a glimpse at this week long annual event in the otherwise sleepy town of Sturgis, South Dakota. In Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura, the former governor and navy seal, uncovers some of our country's most compelling modern day conspiracies.

Debuting in 2010 will be two new series where Sinton is also serving as EP: Travel Channel's The Streets of America: The Search for America's Worst Driver and Discovery Channel's Ultimate Car Build-off. In Worst Driver, we pull the worst drivers from eight major cities across the country off the streets, and have them compete in a variety of challenges to determine who actually is America's Worst Driver. The eight "losers" will have their cars destroyed, but will be given a chance at redemption as they come to LA and compete to avoid being named America's Worst Driver. Ultimate Car Build-off follows rival garages in Detroit, Los Angeles and Atlanta as they compete for the grand prize of $100,000. Each week two garages have four days to build the most extreme and imaginative vehicles they can, such as: turning a Firebird into a car that flies, a golf cart into an underwater vehicle, and a jet ski into a hovercraft!
