current tv

For a couple of years I worked as a Creative Executive for Current TV.  Current is an Emmy award-winning network started by Al Gore in 2005, that programs news and information for young adults. During my time there, I developed and executive produced over 100 short form non-fiction segments. Here are a few of my favorites.

Converse Gallery

Before Current, I oversaw the Converse Gallery for Butler, Shine, Stern and Partners, an advertising agency in Sausalito, CA.  Many credit the Gallery as the first UGC ad campaign, and one of the best. Some of their past and present clients include Mini Cooper, Sun Microsystems, Epson, Greyhound and Priceline.  As a broadcast producer, I created an original strategy for the campaign, solicited filmmakers, worked with the accounts team in selection of submissions for air, and oversaw post-production for broadcast.

Ah-Ha! Moments

Co-produced with four other women, this original production ran 4 shows a week for four weeks.  As producers, we secured funding and sponsorship, solicited and devloped original scripts, hired and oversaw cast and crew, created and executed a press and marketing strategy, and opened and closed to a packed house and critical acclaim.
