C
Claire McCrea is a New York-based Digital Media Freelancer with diverse expertise developed working on set and off, in development, production and post, for scripted and unscripted, and in creative, technical, managerial or administrative roles in a variety of departments, particularly post-production.
​
Claire's passion is telling compelling stories - particularly stories that are:
-
Infrequently heard, like that of the essential workers during the early weeks of the pandemic, featured on Amazon's Regular Heroes.
-
Delightfully unique, like that of the eccentric moonshiners featured on Discovery's Master Distillers.
-
From an alternative perspective, like that of the family members of murder victims as they continue their lives, featured on ID's The Murder Tapes.
Her hope is to be able to continue contributing to the creation of good stories and to share her appreciation for the stories told by others for the entirety of her career.
