PBS / OPERA GRAND RAPIDS (2024)
Colvin Theatrical produced and executive produced the social justice opera capture STINNEY: An American Execution, along with its accompanying documentary, alongside PBS. Working closely with PBS’s Director of Programming, Emmy-winning (Live From Lincoln Center) producer Douglas Chang, Colvin Theatrical made STINNEY the first opera ever shot on cinema cameras - and also produced an accompanying documentary with community leaders. The program aired in June 2024, and is available on the PBS app. Its innovative technical approach earned director (and Colvin Theatrical founder) Cody Colvin two nicknames - “the next Karl Freund” from Barbara Hogenson, and “the next Desi Arnaz” from a fmr. senior executive at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, after the legendary creatives responsible for creating the modern multicamera capture technique.
