About
Philippe Morel

Full-Service
Producer

I bring over a decade of experience to every project — whether that's directing a feature-length documentary shot in Ghana, running five simultaneous event spaces for a national conference with Congressional attendees, or managing the live broadcast infrastructure for major Bay Area government agencies.

I hold a Master of Arts in Broadcast and Electronic Communication Arts from San Francisco State University, where I also taught undergraduate production courses and completed a documentary thesis abroad. I hold US, UK, and EU (France) citizenship.

My work spans the full production pipeline — from pre-production planning and location scouting through cinematography, live direction, editing, color, and audio sweetening. I am fluent in Adobe Creative Cloud and deeply experienced with professional broadcast systems from Ross, Panasonic, and Telemetrics.
