Christmas Glory from New York / TV special

London, England

Working from London, Line Producer Wayne Henry needed a single contact to manage every aspect of the production, post-production and audio mix of an international 90:00 minute Christmas Eve Television Special. He contacted Michael Owen.

We budgeted the below-the-line costs of the production, scouted and obtained the necessary permissions to shoot at locations all over mid-town Manhattan during the pre-Christmas rush, hired all crew and vendors, and obtained the necessary insurance to cover all aspects of the project.

Christmas Glory, starring Jessye Norman, Sir James Galway, Charlotte Church, Barratt Waugh, Sigourney Weaver, and the St. Thomas Boys Choir with the St. Luke’s Orchestra, and hosted by Sir David Frost, was a resounding success, broadcast on ITV1 in the United Kingdom, on PBS in the U.S., and distributed overseas via Carlton International.
