Internal production planning memo for a documentary project

* We've brought on a production manager / line producer as we develop detailed research, contributors, locations, budgets. * Our team is working toward interviewing and hiring a top science-literate associate producer / dedicated research producer. We’ve been coordinating with colleagues at HHMI (Howard Hughes Medical Association) as well as National Geographic for staffing referrals, and now have a strong short list. This is a critical, long- term position. * We are assessing graphics and animation companies and researching styles and graphic ideas that we might use to communicate some of the more complex ideas. * Our digital team is researching a web extension for the www.closertotruth.com website, developing ideas for a dedicated site neighborhood for "Radical Breakthroughs." We are in discussions with several website design companies, including the company that designed and built our original CTT site, for ideas and bids on creating the expanded site. * By mid-October, we expect to begin to schedule the shoots. please note The information contained in this communication is confidential, may be attorney-client privileged, may constitute inside information, and is intended only for the use of the addressee.
