About Clint Durrett
Record Scratch | Freeze Frame* Yep! This is me. You\'re probably wondering how I got here.(Cue: The Who). I\'m a storyteller with a specialty in video production, developing technologies and journalism. For the past 17 years, I\'ve been neck-deep in writing articles covering news, innovating digital platforms, and managing production of reality television series for linear broadcast and streaming video platforms. Storytelling is why I don\'t keep hitting the \"snooze\" button on my alarm. It also helps that I love collaborating and working with a team to make all the stories come to life on a screen. and within or under budget. I produce, direct and develop lifestyle reality TV programming and I\'m knowledgeable in nearly every facet of digital and broadcast journalism - social media, managing story development, creating unique coverage strategy. Buckle up, winners. We\'re on a mission.
