In all the years I’ve interviewed filmmakers, there’s one role I’ve yet to interview—a story producer! Well, this week I check that off the list. From her work on a pilot documentary series for VICE, to her work on reality TV shows like “Dancing with the Stars,” Marissa Messiano has a wide range of experiences. In this episode, you’ll learn exactly how a story producer works with the editor to bring a documentary or reality TV show to life. (And her “Sound of Music” story alone is worth the price of admission.)
