BILL THOMPSON

A SHORT BIOGRAPHY

 

Bill Thompson owns and operates Saltworks Creek Company, a film and television production facility.

Bill's experience started while he was still in college in the late 1960s. He began his career in the Washington DC broadcast market working part time at two of the independent stations and moved to the CBS affiliate after leaving college.

At the CBS affiliate he began his 12-year tenure with them in the documentary unit as their editor. In a couple of years he became the head of the documentary and programming film units and continued in this position as the units grew and received many awards and recognition for quality programming.

In the late 1970s the broadcast news division requested Bill's services for their special projects division, where he continued a challenging and rewarding career working on many award winning news series and investigative reports.

In the early 1980s Bill took an early retirement from the CBS affiliate to begin work on his own independent productions. This lead to his becoming the vice president and general manager of Video Works, a production/post production facility that was later absorbed by the Derand Corporation.

For the last thirteen years Bill has worked as an independent consultant to all of the major broadcast networks and many of the cable channels.

Some shows and projects Bill has worked on include: NBC; Dateline, Today, ABC: 20/20, ABC News Specials, Good Morning America, Nightline, Politically Incorrect, World News Now, World News Tonight, CBS: 60 Minutes, 60 Minutes II, 48 Hours, PBS, ESPN, FOX, MSNBC, National Geographic Explorer, and The Olympics. 

International experience includes location shooting in Israel, Romania, Ireland, Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico, and multiple locations in the Caribbean.

Bill is involved with several programs under development with Discovery, ABC Television and The Arts and Entertainment Channel. While these projects are on going, he is also supplying technical support to NBC, ABC and CBS and supporting his government and corporate clients training and programming needs.
