Emma McNamara

Served as a research and field AP for Confronting a Serial Killer, a Joe Berlinger-led, true crime series for Starz. Coordinated development outreach efforts by homing in and developing longterm relationships with strong contributors. Planned and executed five complex, week-long shoots over the course of four months - each with interview, vérité, and broll components. Organized a dynamic, partially remote, shoot during the COVID-19 pandemic. Acted as the primary contact for crew, producers, and contributors in the field, and managed expenses and releases. Produced and distributed interview questions, call sheets, internal shoot schedules, production reports, and other key documents. Assisted in the post-process by pulling selects from original and archival material, giving editorial notes, and fact checking.

Vetted and booked talent via LexisNexis, obtained court and investigative documents via FOIA requests, double-source fact-checked scripts, sourced and licensed local and national news archive, planned and worked shoots with small film crew.

Performed development research, office administration, financial record maintenance, social media management, fundraising, travel booking, and event planning
