SHANI LEWIS 
DOCUMENTARY PRODUCER 

​

 

For over 20 years, I’ve crisscrossed three continents, producing documentaries and premium content for NETFLIX, AMAZON, HBO, ESPN, PBS, BBC, and MASTERCLASS. I’ve worked with some of the best talent and production houses in the industry—sometimes wrangling celebrities, sometimes capturing the unsung brilliance of everyday people.

Early on, I got my start as a journalist at ABC News, learning how to find the story fast. Now, I shape longer-form narratives that are deep dives. Recently, I secured funding for a multi-million-dollar Amazon series and a theatrical feature, and I’m in the midst of pitching a six-parter. I thrive in every stage of storytelling whether it’s developing a killer concept, wrangling a massive, chaotic shoot, or shaping a gripping final cut.

Beyond film and TV, I have a background in brand storytelling, having worked as a strategist on global campaigns for adidas, Sprite, IBM, and AT&T at Ogilvy & Mather in New York.

 

My hope? To connect with audiences through candid moments and cinematic storytelling. My production approach? Manage the madness with good humor and tasty snacks.
