Christopher Cassel Pro

I'm a Primetime Emmy Award-winning showrunner, director and writer based in New York City.

Over the past 25 years, I've shot documentaries and docudramas on five continents (still waiting for that Australia gig) and worked with quite a few people you've definitely heard of.

From 2011–2018, I was President of Castle Pictures, Inc. which delivered highly-acclaimed series and specials for National Geographic, History and American Heroes Channel among others. Since then I've free-lanced as an EP, director, writer and sometimes all three.

Some of my favorite documentary credits include ROME: ENGINEERING AN EMPIRE for History Channel, RISING: REBUILDING GROUND ZERO for Discovery, BILL NYE’S GLOBAL MELTDOWN for National Geographic Explorer, TO END ALL WAR: OPPENHEIMER AND THE ATOMIC BOMB for NBC/Universal and my current project, an NBC series called SURVIVAL MODE which will premiere in June 2025.

I'm a proud dad of two teens and a lucky husband to my college sweetheart. And I like to think I've got a few more years yet in that sweet spot where sage experience and youthful energy dovetail.
