First Man Out (Season 1-3)
Discovery Channel International & Bili Bili (China)
Role: Producer (Seasons 1 & 2) / Series Producer (Season 3)
For a show like First Man Out, that means setting up recces and production for both foreign and local crews in remote areas. The remote locations we filmed in are logistically challenging, requiring life support and supplies to be brought in for filming. Season 3 was our most ambitious yet—we took the series to four continents. In every episode, we were surrounded by 40-50 ground crew members and experts in their fields to pull off this massive operation.
Season 3 on Bili Bili broadcast in China had some huge numbers!
120 Million Views. + some hilarious comments!!!
