Alex Pressberg

For 7 years in the CNN longform unit, I produced 1-2 hour documentaries from the research phase through delivery. I drafted show treatments, booked guests, field produced all interviews, directed b-roll and recreation shoots, wrote full scripts, post-produced all episodes, addressed network, legal and standards notes, and supervised all shows through the online, while overseeing a small team of Production Assistants and Associate Producers.

In NBC News' longform unit, I booked individuals for multiple documentary projects for MSNBC, Lifetime and Oxygen, interviewed guests in the field, assisted in script writing, and organized logistics for recreation shoots.

I booked guests for a historical-based recreation series for the American Heroes Channel, managed a comprehensive archive, assisted in all aspects of field production, fact checked all scripts, and supervised the completion of deliverables.

I booked and pre-interviewed guests for a prison interview-based true crime series for Investigation Discovery, assisted in all aspects of field production, fact checked all scripts, and managed the completion of deliverables.

I oversaw logistics and a 20-person crew for a reality series for Nickelodeon, filming in both New York and Los Angeles, including booking all crew members and negotiating day rates, creating call sheets and shoot schedules, organizing transportation for talent and crew, obtaining necessary permitting, and coordinating gear rentals.
