Specials Producer
I PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER TO BRING CONTENT TO LIFE.
FROM SOCIAL INJUSTICES AND HARD-HITTING EXPOSÉS TO HISTORICAL EVENTS AND BEYOND, IT’S IMPORTANT TO CAPTURE AND SHARE THE STORIES THAT SHAPE WHO WE ARE, THAT ADDRESS OUR SHORT-COMINGS, AND THAT HOPEFULLY INSPIRE CHANGE. AS STORYTELLERS, WE ARE DEDICATED AND HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO GIVE A VOICE TO THE VOICELESS. WE HELP OTHERS FEEL HEARD.
BRINGING THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE TO THE TELEVISION SCREEN, THE SPECIALS PRODUCER IS TASKED WITH DEVELOPING CONTENT THAT EDUCATES AND MOTIVATES OUR VIEWERS TO ACTION. WHILE LEADING A TEAM THROUGH THE PRODUCTION PROCESS OF SPECIAL PROJECTS, THIS PRODUCER MUST GRASP THE BIG PICTURE, MANAGING ALL FACETS OF EACH PROJECT TO ACHIEVE AN EXCELLENT FINAL SPECIAL THAT IS COMPELLING AND INSIGHTFUL.
