Client: Amazon Prime Video, A&E Network & WWE | Role: Field Producer, Story Producer & Editor | Format: 2-Hour Network Documentary
The Project: This feature-length A&E Biography special explores the complex, dark, and triumphant life of WWE Hall of Famer Jake "The Snake" Roberts. The film balances the high-octane spectacle of 1980s professional wrestling with the deeply raw reality of addiction and recovery.
How I Brought It To Life:
Field Production: Managed on-the-ground shoots and conducted intimate, high-stakes interviews with Jake himself, and wrestling legends like Diamond Dallas Page.
Story Producing: Built the overarching narrative papercut, identifying the emotional through-lines that connected his childhood trauma to his in-ring psychology.
Editing (Avid): Led the offline assembly edit in Avid Media Composer, carving down hundreds of hours of interviews and archival footage into a tightly paced broadcast arc.
