Alana Campbell is a director of photography, multimedia producer, director, and journalist whose work has taken her all over the world. She’s filmed on boats and bush planes, from camelback and helicopters, underground and underwater, and just about everywhere in between. She’s covered stories on child brides in India, ancient Nubian temples in Sudan, Buddhist monks in Thailand, and Incan mummies in Peru.

Alana has extensive experience filming medical professionals—from emergency department doctors to neurosurgeons—as well as their patients. She filmed an historic face transplant, only the second of its kind performed in the U.S. and the first ever filmed for broadcast. In addition Alana has spent more than 25,000 hours embedded with law enforcement entities throughout the U.S., including police departments in Chicago, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Memphis, Miami, Phoenix, Tulsa, and Tucson. She’s filmed hundreds of homicide investigations, SWAT operations, vice squad stings, undercover narcotics busts, gang unit jump-outs, and autopsies. She also spent two months living and filming inside Angola, Louisiana, the country’s largest maximum security prison.

Alana has produced programming for NBC, ABC, National Geographic, Discovery, Travel Channel, Investigation Discovery, OWN, TLC, Oxygen, A&E, PBS, Discovery Health, Animal Planet, and MTV. Her shows have garnered numerous accolades, including an Overseas Press Club “Edward R. Murrow Award,” a Gracie Award, three Cine Golden Eagles, and multiple Emmy nominations.
