In CW’s Capture, a Hunger-Games like intense action-adventure reality series, 12 teams of two enter a high-tech wilderness compound where they must live in primitive conditions for one month in a winners-take-all battle to survive — and a prize of $250,000. Relying on their survival skills and primal instincts, there is only one rule: Don’t get caught!

As a Story Producer during production, I ran 10-20 miles per day tracking teams of competitors through the wilderness, directing camera crews, and interviewing cast members on camera. In post-production, I was in charge of crafting the story of three episodes.
