E57- Marci Klein: Riding the wave of Life

Marci spent almost 20 years honing her story telling skills as a
television director in the reality genre tv, on shows like Dr.
Phil, Inside Edition, and E! Entertainment
Television.   She is a Los Angeles Emmy Award
winner and a Cable Ace recipient, and surf
enthusiast.      


After graduating from UC San Diego with a degree in
Communications, and learning to surf,  Marci made the
move to Hollywood where she worked her way up from the
bottom.  She started as a production assistant, to
production coordinator, to story producer, to field producer and
then on to director, Supervising and Senior Producer
roles.   It was in 1990 that she was invited to
direct on Greg Kinnear’s first network tv show, The Best of the
Worst, which inaugurated her into the Directors Guild of
America.    


Wearing many hats in Hollywood prepared Marci with the
skills  and experience to open and run her own video
production studio, which she now operates in Redondo Beach, just
a short distance from her home and family in Redondo Beach – and
more importantly,  5 blocks to the ocean which she uses
as her inspiration, as quoted in her passage, “Being in the ocean
is like diving into creativity.  I get inspired feel
invigorated, and ideas flow. The ocean is where I write my client
scripts in my head, long before my hands ever reach a computer
keyboard.”    The vibe of her company is as
important to her as the quality of videos she
produces.   Marci’s board meetings are offered in
the surf line-up, and everyone is
welcome.        


Marci balances business with family and
philanthropy.   She sits on the board for
non-profit organization Waterfront Education, is a Public Arts
Commissioner and Ambassador to the Redondo beach Chamber of
Commerce.   Today Marci is still a member of the
Directors Guild of America, the Producers guild of
America.  Marci never books a video shoot on Fridays
until after her morning surf
session.
