Live ShowsDocs & Impact
Written By Eric Tiu

Client: GLAAD | Role: Show Editor & Segment Editor | Format: Virtual Broadcast Event

The Project: For the 31st and 32nd Annual GLAAD Media Awards, I helped edit a highly visible, star-studded virtual broadcast. The objective was to maintain the premium, celebratory energy of a traditional Hollywood award show while executing a flawless digital event centered on advocacy and LGBTQ+ representation.

How I Brought It To Life:

  • Impact & Advocacy: Cut deeply emotional, mission-driven segments highlighting the critical need to stand up for LGBTQ+ rights and advocacy.

  • High-Profile Talent: Edited specialized, narrative-driven packages and host-led segments featuring Fortune Feimster, Gina Yashere, and Niecy Nash, perfectly balancing sharp comedic timing with the event's core messaging.

  • Collaborative Show Assembly: Worked closely alongside a dedicated team of show editors to complete all segments and assemble the overarching run-of-show, ensuring seamless transitions and precise broadcast timing.

  • Remote Post-Production: Managed a fully remote workflow, executing rapid-turnaround iterations and integrating strict feedback from project producers and executive stakeholders prior to the live premiere.
