I was a supervising producer (including writing VO for) for the pop culture documentary series Icons Unearthed, in their season about Marvel Studios’ rise to box office dominance.

Downstream from the story producers and upstream from the editors, I molded the story and wrote bits and jokes to help bring Nacelle’s unique style into my episodes. The supervising producers were in charge of trying to find the clearest and most entertaining way to tell the larger story of a given episode, and the smaller stories held within, while threading in the series arc.

One highlight was taking on, and I believe we succeeded at, the challenge of deciphering the complex ownership structure of Marvel’s various holdings, and their transitions between owners, and telling that story in a clear and fun way. This ever-changing structure was at the heart of the drama of Marvel Studio’s rise, and thus at the heart of this season of Icons. And it continues to be relevant, as Disney and Marvel and Fox’s ownership dance is featured heavily in Marvel’s latest hit, Deadpool & Wolverine.

I also helped write some of the punchy and concise episode openings.
