For years, Children's Hospital Los Angeles produced an hour long TV special dedicated to telling the stories of our patients. We had a celebrity host - Jessica Capshaw in this case - that would narrate and guide the viewer through our halls and into the lives of these courageous children. The special would also serve as a fundraising vehicle to raise money to help serve our kids. In 2014, the special was nominated and won an Emmy Award. I was executive producer on this project - onset ensuring tone and message were on point as well as playing an integral role in the editing and approval process.
