Jessica Cran
Producer
From investigative exposés to semi-scripted re-creations, I’ve worked on a range of content as development, field director/ producer, story and edit producer; managing every stage of production from pre-pro through post, and with credits from PBS, WGBH, HBO, DISCOVERY, HISTORY, NATGEO & the BBC, I can boast an eclectic resume and skill set. Known for my in-depth research and vivid writing, I have a keen instinct for story-development and detail. In the field, I’ve managed multi-camera shoots – often in challenging or hostile conditions – and am accustomed to trouble- shooting, working on the go, and coordinating talent, cast and crew. As a skilled booker and interviewer, one of my particular strengths lies in cultivating relationships, building rapport and trust, and successfully convincing the “shyest” characters, communities and departments to participate on-camera.
The Summit unites the public and private sectors, domestic and international, against hate and extremism. Researchers, activists, lawyers, technology experts, political leaders, and more come together, each bringing their unique tools to the fight. Important relationships that were established at the Summit in 2021 have carried forward into working groups with concrete deliverables for 2022 and beyond.
