Alex Libby, CEO ProductionPro production.pro
Alexander started ProductionPro in 2013 after years of stage managing & producing in theatre & film. While working with film & theatre director Stephen Daldry on the movie Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, it dawned on Alex that the film production process was far from efficient & that perhaps an out-of-the-box approach might tighten up production times & overall quality. Today after multiple accelerators, rounds of funding, ProductionPro is the go-to solution for directors, designers & producers.
It's represented on Broadway productions like Hamilton & Frozen & on television series such as Netflix's The Crown. The company has also recently started working with Lucasfilm, Marvel & Disney Animation. The road to success hasn't been easy nor a given, but Alex & his team have persevered through to change the way entertainment is produced.
