Al Ward
Director of Production / The "Boss"
Whether he's inside a presidential motorcade capturing the crazy pace of a political campaign or zooming in on an open chest during heart surgery, Al is obsessed with getting that "perfect shot" for his clients, and rightly so.
After stomaching one too many "Pet of the Week" segments, this former TV reporter and newscaster moved behind the camera in 1990 to found his own broadcast production house.
Al's camerawork and editing expertise is now regularly seen on most of the major broadcast and cable networks including CNN, NBC, PBS, FOX, CBS, and Discovery. Some of his memorable moments behind the lens range from shadowing the Dalai Lama for an inspiring 3 days, to capturing Danny Devito yelling at his director behind the scenes of a movie shoot -- and sounding just like Louie DePalma (Al was a big fan of Taxi in the 70s).
With four highly acclaimed broadcast documentaries for PBS under his belt, Al has also been the leading creative force behind hundreds of educational and promotional video productions.
In addition to a 2003 Emmy nomination as director for Best Documentary, Al’s work has been honored by the American Medical Writers Association, the National Educational Media Network, the National Telly Awards and the Vision Awards. He is also the brainchild behind LemonaidFilms.com, producing and distributing videos nationally, aimed to improve health for women and children.
