John McCally
Story Producer
I worked with Gail for nearly two years on Secrets of the Zoo, a multi-camera documentary series that follows the veterinarians and zookeepers at the Columbus Zoo for Nat Geo Wild, where the science content is taken very seriously. Gail interfaced wi ...MORE...
th the field team on a daily basis, tracked specific animal stories across many months and multiple shoots, and documented the field shoot data into detailed spreadsheets which were invaluable for the post team. She assisted story producers and editors as needed. She was also a whiz at researching the veterinary content needed to develop interview questions and write program descriptions. When a sudden need arose, Gail was always willing to step up and answer it. She also is a delightful person with a fantastic sense of humor, an attribute that really pays off over the long haul. She is highly experienced, learns new procedures and processes quickly, and asks the right questions. I can't recommend her more highly.
- John was Supervising Post Producer and Gail was Casting Associate Producer on Secrets of the Zoo (Columbus)
Brianne MacNeil
Field Producer

cation skills, is always looking for solutions and makes sure that all the T’s are crossed and I’s are dotted. As simply a crew member, I can also say that I appreciate Gail because she really cares about her crew and does whatever she can to make sure they are taken care of (which on long runs in the middle of nowhere, means more than some people know!)

Hit Run
Production Staff
I have enjoyed working with Gail for well over 10 years now. Gail is highly competent, organized and experienced across a wide variety of skills that are essential to production management. Whether it's the logistical challenge of moving crew and cas ...MORE...
t to and from set, negotiating vendor agreements and tax credits, dealing with endless paperwork, navigating legal matters, and managing budgets, schedules and people, Gail gets it all done. What I appreciate most about Gail's approach to production management is her ability to recognize a problem and implement a workflow to solve it. As a showrunner, I have rarely worked so closely with a production manager, she's a real partner and would be an asset to any production.
