I am currently the post-production manager for the Eyes of the Storm documentary. This four-part series documents how the news media has covered some of the biggest natural disasters of the last decade. I manage a team of 15 people and 15TB of media that includes 900 hours of video and over 225 interviews. The target release date for this project is in November of 2020.
The trailer for this project is not currently available to the public. You can see the other projects I have done in relation to this below with our First Informers series. Please reach out to me if you would like access to the Eyes of the Storm trailer or for me to share more about what my role entails. A redacted version of the project management document I created is available.

Opioid TV Spot: This spot was created by Gaylord Hall Productions for the Illinois Broadcast Association as a spot promoting programs to combat opioid use disorder. The spot takes place at a high school football game and involved hundreds of extras.
I was responsible for the operations part of this production. I had to coordinate crew responsibilities and equipment including all of the grip and electric portion. We had to bring in our own lighting to supplement the stadium lighting. We also brought in generators and a jib.
