ABOUT THE PRODUCERS

 

Robert Koehler

Executive Producer
Supervises: Logistics Division
Major: Post Production

Past EVVYs Titles: Assistant to the Executive Producer of Tech

Favorite EVVYs Memory: After working hard on the EVVYs all year, it was incredible being in the Cutler for production week and seeing everyone’s efforts finally pay off. Seeing all the students from so many different majors working together on the show was amazing to see, and I cant wait for it to happen again. The whole week was just a surreal experience that is unlike anything else that you will be able to find at Emerson. It was great seeing so many people united to make one great show; everything we had done all year was finally worth it.

Advice for New Members: Dont be afraid to try new things. The cliche quote “anything is possible” truly is a reality when it comes to the EVVYs. Dont be afraid to ask for help and to get your hands dirty. The opportunities the EVVYs can give you are endless, and dont let that opportunity go to waste.

 

Quinn Marcus

Executive Producer
Supervises: Creative Division: Content
Major: Comedy Writing and Performance

Favorite EVVYs Memory: Doing the audience warm up for EVVYS 30. It was the most people I’d ever talked to at once- and I got to use a bubble pipe on the Cutler stage.

Advice for New Members: Have fun with your job. We all get the rare opportunity to be a part of a show like this and we just need to appreciate that, be original, learn from our mistakes, and have fun.

 

Cara Ostrow

Executive Producer
Supervises: Creative Division: Aesthetic
Major: Studio TV Production, Minor: Leadership & Management

Past EVVYs Titles: Judges/Presenters/Roll-Ins Assistant & Wrangler, Assistant to the Creative Executive Producer,  Associate Producer of Hosts

Favorite EVVYs Memory: Delivering the graphics team midnight cookies. Learning the beauty of the world of lighting from Kirk J Miller. Staying up all night after the LipDub premiered and watching the view count rise. Sitting in on writers meetings… all of them. OR standing on the stage of the Cutler looking at the empty seats and realizing it was going to be full for our show. Two years in a row.

Advice for New Members:  ”A child playing air guitar plays no wrong notes. ” Do what you want, and do it to your fullest potential; the creative energy and abilities will come naturally.

 

Ryland Roberts

Executive Producer
Supervises: Tech Division
Major: Sound Design/Audio Post Production

Past EVVYs Titles: Audio Assistant, Audio Stage Manager, Audio Manager, Broadcast Mix

Favorite EVVYs Memory: Mixing the 31st Annual EVVY Awards with Megan Lutz and Nicole Rosenbaum was the single most exhilarating moment of my life so far. Orchestrating the mix of a show of this size is sort of like learning a dance, we all had our own roles and jobs on the board but also had to adapt to any sudden changes. Working on Live television is pure adrenaline, it’s too easy to make stupid mistakes. I was lucky to have such wonderful friends and co-mixes at my side.

Advice for New Members:  Do NOT let your major hold you back. Are you a frustrated marketing student that wants to be on Tech team? Go for it. What we want on our EVVY32 staff is motivation and enthusiasm not only for the show but for the organization as well.
