Dr. Rachel Raimist - Television Director on Process and Exceptional Producing Directors

Angle on Producers with Carolina Groppa

Thrilled to share this inspiring and electric convo with Dr. Rachel Raimist. Rachel is an episodic television director and college professor who’s recently directed episodes of the family fantasy THE SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES (Disney+), the musical UP HERE (Hulu) and the soapy drama SEX/LIFE (Netflix). She has also directed beloved episodes of THE SEX LIVES OF COLLEGE GIRLS (HBO Max), WU-TANG: AN AMERICAN SAGA (Hulu), FANTASY ISLAND (Fox), and DIARY OF A FUTURE PRESIDENT (Disney+).

We are opening up the aperture and hearing from other disciplines on what they think makes an exceptional producer, so tune in!

Her journey is a masterclass in rolling with the punches…and her resilience is inspiring to say the least. She’s one of those people you can talk to for hours and never run out of things to say. I hope you enjoy and get as much out of our conversation as I did.

Takeaways!

• The importance of a supportive community

• So much of the directing process happens before you set foot on set

• The environment you foster on set is just as important as your talent and skill
