Lizzy McGlynn is an NYC-based Archival Producer specializing in historically immersive documentaries told through story-driven archive. Lizzy’s career spans over 20 years, beginning as a soup to nuts documentary producer, experience that grants unique perspective in both story and production process. In 2023, Lizzy received both the Emmy Award for documentary research and the FOCAL Jane Mercer Researcher of the Year award for her work “Lowndes County & the Road to Black Power”.  Other notable credits include the Academy Award-winning documentary feature "Summer of Soul (…Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)" that swept the 2022 awards season, and the Emmy-nominated “Citizen Ashe”.

Lizzy is well known for deep research and finding hidden archival gems that transform productions into a full archival experience. Topics of her projects are wide-ranging, including WWI and the Armenian Genocide, print-making, modern takes on celebrity culture, and Ted Bundy – in fact she’s done multiple Ted Bundy projects, to her own surprise.  Lizzy is a child of Chicago-born academics who raised her in Lubbock, Texas. She has since spent more of her life on the East Coast than in Texas, which feels complicated. She currently resides in Maplewood, NJ with her Dublin-born husband Mark, their two children, and Hazel the dog.
