In 2009, Torgoff wrote and served again as Consulting Producer on VH-1's "Lords of the Revolution," a five-part series about the individuals and groups behind the cultural and political upheavals of the 60s and 70s, with episodes on Andy Warhol, the Black Panthers, Tiimothy Leary, Muhammad Ali, and Cheech and Chong. In 2010 Torgoff formed Prodigious Media wth Richard Lowe. Their first production, Planet Rock: The Story of Hip Hop and the Crack Generation, which Torgoff co-wrote, produced and directed with Lowe, was Executive Produced and narrated by Ice-T, and was aired in September of 2011 on VH-1. Prodigious Media currently has numerous documentaries and documentary series in development.
