Our work

Similar to the Olympics, the World Games follows strict protocols and security measures for their Opening and Closing Ceremonies. We were brought on to manage the Athlete Chain of Custody, moving over 2700 participants from their village to the stadium, in accordance to the protocols and based on the needs of the broadcast production. By organizing over 200 volunteers, we created and executed a plan that made the Athlete March, by country, a success.

As the Director of Production Operations at the now Techwood Studios, I was responsible for the day-to-day management and near-term planning of the facility, including 7 studios – ranging 1500 to 10,000 square feet, with daily productions, 7 days a week. I oversaw the Crewing Department, which scheduled, trained, and developed technical staff (35) and freelancers (150+).  When COVID-19 hit, I lead the team in writing and implementing our compliance protocols that allowed us to get back to work safely.

The Atlanta Jazz Festival is a premier summer event, put on by the City of Atlanta and the Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs. Working with Mathes Event Productions, we are responsible for managing the travel and logistics for all of the artists performing. With over 150 individuals each year, we coordinate hotel accomodations, airport transfers, and shuttles to the stages at Piedmont Park. High attention to detail, extensive communication, and a joy of hosting ensure that every artists is ready to have their best performance.

As Senior Production Manager, it was my responsibility to ensure that every Doc Unit producer had what they needed to tell the story that needed to be told. Traveling crews worlwide, booking interview locations, and even sending weather reports so that they knew what time the sun would rise; every detail mattered. I managed our multi-million dollar show budget, tracking expenses concurrently so that budget decisions could be made in real time. In a typical year, we’d produce 6-10 long form shows, but in 2016, we crashed 50 shows, putting long form storytelling in the center of the news cycle.

What started years ago as an idea to give some donated evening gowns to a few deserving high school students has grown into a multi city charity event, making prom possible for over 500 underserved seniors in Atlanta and Los Angeles. We were brought on to reimagine Studio D at Techwood as a deluxe department store. From Macy’s dresses and Men’s Warehouse tuxs, to hair cuts and makeup, everything was provided, including a spin at Monte’s Mirror to Say Yes to Prom.

No one does pomp and circumstance like Morehouse College! And after producing the commencement for over 10 years, it’s become one of our annual favorites. Working with Mathes Event Productions, we manage the show content, ensuring that every man is seen on the big screen marching across the stage to receive their diploma. The Morehouse Commencement often breaks news, from hosting President Obama to Robert Smith paying their college debt, it’s our job to make sure the DNRs sent to the media capture the highlights for great coverage.

Working with Mathes Event Productions, we’ve assisted with executing multiple ground breaking and grand opening press conferences as the Atlanta Beltline continues it’s mission of uniting communities throughout Atlanta. With the Atlanta Mayor and other government dignitaries often in attendance, understanding the goals of the Beltline and the needs of the local media is critical to obtaining strong coverage of the event.

Conferences are a success when they can deliver on their mission and their message. We were brought in by Third Eye Creative Productions to manage all of the speaker content and performances and ensure that the technical production team was ready to execute the client’s vision. By also being onsite as the stage manager, we were able to quickly adapt to content changes and guarentee that the attendees enjoyed a cohesive experience.
