About

Nick Stango adjusting Keke Palmer's mic on set

Intro

Showrunner and director of celebrity-driven formats. I develop and run talent video franchises from concept to edit: booking talent, designing games and run-of-shows, directing on set, and shaping the final cut.

Built Variety's video operation, from video producer to Head of Video.

I built Variety's editorial video operation, growing its YouTube from 230K to nearly 2M subscribers. I ran Actors on Actors, now licensed to CNN, created Inside the Frame, and developed How Well Do They Know, Know Their Lines, Know Their Lyrics, Behind the Song and Up Next. I oversaw videos with talent including Taylor Swift, Leonardo DiCaprio, Martin Scorsese and Bad Bunny, personally interviewed George Clooney and Chris Rock, and oversaw live interview studios at Cannes, TIFF, Sundance and SDCC. Previously at BuzzFeed News, the Los Angeles Times and Gizmodo Media Group. B.F.A. in Film & Video, School of Visual Arts.
