Glen Zipper is a documentary producer based in Los Angeles. One of his first films, Undefeated, won the Academy Award for Best Documentary in 2012. His more recent work includes the Netflix docu-series, Dogs, and the 2-part HBO documentary, What’s My Name: Muhammad Ali.Follow Glen on InstagramFor more info on Rough Cut visit https://www.roughcutpodcast.com/Jennie Butler on Instagram @jen_butSky Dylan-Robbins on Instagram @skydylanrobbinsRough Cut on Instagram @roughcutpodcast
After leaving his career as a criminal prosecutor to volunteer with rescue animals, Glen Zipper eventually found his way to producing films so he could better defend issues he believed in. Rather than describing himself as an advocate filmmaker, Zipper is someone who likes to highlight issues, uncover injustices, and simply discover the truth. That said, he’s also uncovered tales about Bill Murray, Elvis Presley, Pauline Kael, and now Muhammad Ali. Directed by Antoine Fuqua (Training Day), HBO's ‘What’s My Name’ is an interesting documentary, because it’s a story completely told from the voice of Ali. There are no talking heads, but rather, Ali telling his story over the decades through sound bites and clips. In this interview, Zipper discusses the responsibility of a documentary platform, his fascination with dogs, what attracts him to a project, building a story brick-by-brick, and why Muhammad Ali will always be a fixture in American history.

What does it take to be a fantastic documentary producer? From sitting in a ditch in Greenland’s below freezing weather, to pulling out an intensely personal story from a cut that may be a few hours too long, experienced producers Kate McLean and Glen Zipper embody the sort of intrepid attitude that a producer on a non-fiction film tends to need. What exactly does a documentary producer do, and why become one? No Film School's Oakley Anderson-Moore sat down with Kate and Glen at SXSW after the premieres of their latest respective films, Bill Nye Science Guy and Ramblin' Freak. Together they discuss the adventurous steps necessary to take on the role of an ace documentary producer.

Glen Zipper is the producer of Oscar winning documentary “Undefeated”, as well as “Foo Fighters: Back and Forth”, and Tower Records documentary “All Things Must Pass” directed by Colin Hanks. His new film is “Betting on Zero”, a powerful docu-thriller about controversial hedge fund titan Bill Ackman, who is on a crusade, claiming that global nutritional giant Herbalife is the largest pyramid scheme in history.
Marcie and I talk about empathy and others, magic, a shift in perspective, the power of film for social change and a “real sense of belonging.” Synopsis How much are you willing to sacrifice for your dream? MAGICIANS follows four very different professional magicians on stage and off, exploring how and why these characters so passionately dedicate their lives to the artistry and craft of illusion: from the most humbling of road gigs to the grandest performances on the biggest of stages; to finding love to terrible personal loss; and, most dramatically, to the prospect of losing everything for the one constant in their lives: magic. As we come to understand why each is pursuing his own dream, we’ll discover the greatest secret that has been hidden right before our eyes all along: far more fascinating than the magic are the magicians themselves. MAGICIANS was filmed over four years with unprecedented access at the Magic Castle in Los Angeles, behind the scenes in Las Vegas, the magicians’ homes and wherever their journeys took them. Exciting, uplifting, and with broad audience appeal, the film explores how these magicians have persisted with their art form, and prevailed. MAGICIANS is directed and produced by Marcie Hume and Christoph Baaden. The film is executive produced by Glen Zipper, Greg Stikeleather, Doug Blush and Lance Burton. More about the film here. Biography Marcie Hume began her documentary career with the BBC in London, and has created and produced a range of series for the BBC and Channel 4 in the UK, and Discovery Channel, Lifetime, and National Geographic in the US. She works full time as a production and development executive in television, while making a documentary film every 5 years. Her documentary feature film HOOD TO COAST was released in 360 movie theaters across the US in 2011, and her recent documentary MAGICIANS: LIFE IN THE IMPOSSIBLE will be released later this year. She created an after-school documentary program for high school students in vulnerable communities in the South Bronx, and has given workshops on interview technique and documentary ethics at conferences around the country. Having created both documentary series and reality TV shows, she’s a big believer in questioning assumptions about authenticity and truth in both genres… and is wary of those who consider documentaries to be “real” and reality TV to be “fake”. She continues to develop and revise her ideas on storytelling and ethics in documentary. ---------- Please visit my website for more information on my podcasting, writing and public speaking.
