2016 Wraps

Leave a comment

The year is winding down, and it has been an incredible journey, transitioning from a staff employee at HBO to a staff employee to myself. “Running For His Life: The Lawrence Phillips Story” premiered several weeks ago to rave reviews and some of Showtime’s highest ratings of the year for an original documentary production. Following in the footsteps of the two Advil commercials mentioned in my previous post, there are two additional ones now airing – “Holiday” and “Portfolio” done through through Catch & Release.

With several other documentary projects nearing completion, and other new ones just ramping up, I am thrilled at the prospect of what 2017 holds in store.

2016 continues to be a busy year here at Lost & Found!

“Running For His Life: The Lawrence Phillips Story” will begin airing on Showtime December 16th. I handled all archival research and clearances for this 90-minute documentary about the troubled football player that died in a California prison earlier this year.

New project currently in production “The Caddie Chronicles” covers the history of golf caddies and their unique part of the sport’s legacy.

Recently wrapped commercial/corporate work includes:

Blizzard Entertainment’s 25-year celebration video, which recently kicked off their BlizzCon convention. Work included licensing as well as property and talent clearances through Catch & Release.

For Advil, 2 commercials are currently running on TV with their “What Pain?” campaign through Catch & Release. Two more are slated to begin airing over the next few weeks. You can view these spots at the following URLs:
