In this episode of Breaking the Biz, we dive into the fast-paced, high-pressure world of live television with Philip Dvorak, an accomplished associate director with 20 years of experience in TV production. Phil specializes in control room operations for live news and sports programming, ensuring all elements are perfectly timed and ready for directors to execute on-air.
From his nearly two-decade tenure with Access Hollywood to his Emmy-winning work on FOX NFL Sunday, Phil shares stories and insights from behind the scenes of some of TV’s most iconic moments. He discusses the intricacies of working in live broadcast environments, the rewarding (and sometimes stressful) nature of the job, and how his passion for storytelling has shaped his career.
Phil also opens up about balancing his thriving career with family life, his move from Southern California to Colorado, and the lessons he’s learned about perseverance and adaptability in a rapidly evolving industry. Whether you're curious about the demands of live television or looking for inspiration to break into the entertainment industry, this episode is packed with wisdom and practical advice.
