Producer / Director
2007-2013
Televised tribute shows typically honor celebrated artists and athletes, but CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute flips the script, inviting a star-studded live audience to gather to honor everyday people who are changing the world through non-profit ventures. The Anderson Cooper hosted, annual tribute is the culmination of the global, year-long CNN Heroes campaign, honoring the Top 10 CNN Heroes and Hero of the Year. The two-hour live broadcast is preceded by a pre-taped AC interview hour, Sharing The Spotlight. The discussion of celebrity philanthropy aired between live cut-ins from the All-Star Tribute’s red carpet, leading up to the main live event which was broadcast across CNN’s multi-platforms before a theatre audience of thousands.
