Lisa Modarelli Werner
Associate Producer
World's Toughest Fixes

I used to go out in the field for National Geographic TV, but with World's Toughest Fixes, I decided to take things down a notch and work on the back-end of the Series - I am the Post Production Associate Producer for the team. I am the girl who is usually in the office, holding down the fort, and seeing the shows through to their end... known, lovingly, by the WTF Team as the "Mother Hen". But for the "Columbia River Dam" episode, Rob Kerr, our Series Producer, and I got our "Day Passes" - permission to leave the nest and hit the field for some good ol' nostalgic times - out of the office, in the open air, filming for 16 hours a day, hauling gear all over the place, meeting and greeting, not having time to eat, getting 3-hours of sleep a night, just to get up and do it all again. It went on like that for two weeks straight.

My gosh - I forgot how exhausting it all is! But it is definitely worth it - especially with the team of characters who are almost ALWAYS in the field for this Series: Sean Riley, Eric Cochran, and David Ruddick. These guys go non-stop, gunning and running, moving and shaking. And what's more - they have fun while doing it. Put them together with our irreverent leader, Rob - and filming this episode was pure fun. READ ON >>
