ABOUT ANGEL THOMPSON
Self-sufficient, unceasingly positive, and full of Southern hospitality. I am a Producer with 20+ years of experience in all areas of content creation and distribution. Carol Burnett, The Jeffersons, and Behind the Scenes Specials were my favorite part of evenings and weekends spent with family growing up. I consider myself an artist with a knack for project and people management. Bringing human expression to life through video (and playing standup bass with my band!) is what drives me.A few career highlights include:Built digital content department at the Television Academy from the ground upWrote, directed, filmed, and edited a video documenting the donation of my kidney for UNOS – United Network for Organ Sharing – to encourage others to donate organs and save livesImplemented Closed Captioning at the Television Academy for the hearing impairedProduced a video for Duane Johnson that garnered millions of views on InstagramMade the switch to digital in 2008 even after my superiors told me that online video was a passing trend and no one would ever watch TV on their computers or phones.
