Lizzy McGlynn is an NYC based Archival Producer specializing in historically immersive documentaries told through story-driven archive. In 2023, Lizzy received both the Emmy Award for documentary research and the FOCAL Jane Mercer Researcher of the Year award for her work “Lowndes County & the Road to Black Power”. She also works in branded content and was a Producer on the 2023 “McEnroe Vs. McEnroe” which was awarded five Cannes Lions and took a Sports Emmy. Consequently, she is ranked #15 on D&Ad’s 2023 Producer’s Rankings . Other notable credits include the Academy Award winning doc feature “Summer of Soul (…Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)” that swept the 2022 awards season, and the Emmy nominated “Citizen Ashe”. Lizzy is well known for deep research and finding hidden archival gems that transform productions into a full archival experience. Topics of her projects are wide-ranging, including WWI and the Armenian Genocide, print making, modern takes on celebrity culture, and Ted Bundy – in fact she’s done multiple Ted Bundy projects, to her own surprise. Lizzy’s career spans over 20 years. She began as a soup to nuts documentary producer, experience that grants unique perspective in both story and production process. Lizzy is a child of Chicago-born academics who raised her in Lubbock, Texas through high school. She has since spent more of her life on the East Coast than in Texas, which feels complicated. She currently resides in Maplewood, NJ with her Dublin-born husband Mark and their two children.
