CNN Heroes
Dave created the CNN Heroes award show. It has been collecting Emmys ever since, and it still airs every year.
David Nuckolls Productions
Live shows that only happen once.
Olympic ceremonies. The Oscars red carpet. A Super Bowl banner on NBC. The largest hybrid conferences anyone has put on air. Thirty-five years of work that had to be right the first time.

What we do
Ceremonies, broadcasts, and shows with one take.
DNP produces and directs live events for broadcast — Olympic and international games ceremonies, network specials, awards shows, and full broadcast days for conferences with audiences in the hundreds of thousands.
For conference clients that means more than pointing a camera at the keynote. A live studio, interviews, explainers, promos, watch parties and remote guests, all built into a rundown that gives the person at home a reason to stay for the whole day.
A detailed capabilities brief is available on request. Email and we'll send it over.
