Biographical Sketch
Stan Hill produced his first television program for pay in 1970. He was producer for a weekly local talk show on WJCL-TV22, the ABC affiliate in Savannah, Georgia. He had previously earned a bachelor's degree in Communications at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Illinois where he worked in the campus educational television station.
As president and general manager of VideoMedia Productions in Statesboro, Georgia, Stan was involved in setting up the first local cable channel in the area. The company produced all the local programming for that channel as well as educational and broadcast programming for other clients. That involved a lot of high school football games, fashion shows, cooking shows, and even an amateur tractor pull.
In 1978, Stan moved to Birmingham, Alabama and worked as a freelance television producer. Over the next five years he was producer and director for more than 600 multi-camera live event and sports broadcasts for various clients. His On-site Productions company developed and produced football coach Terry Bowden's first coach's show series on the Birmingham CBS affiliate station.
In 1984, he was employed as the first and only television producer for a Christian publishing company. Over the next 18 years, he became involved in a broad range of television production categories including: 125 educational curriculum and training videos, documentary and feature productions for national cable networks, private satellite broadcasting, national satellite videoconferences, convention image magnification and daily news features, birth and marketing of a national cable network (currently called the Hallmark Channel), and the development of 9 web sites and 3 e-commerce sites on the World Wide Web.
Stan retired from the publishing company in 2001, and currently works in Houston, Texas as a freelance editor and producer for clients such as HCC-TV, the Houston Community College educational cable channel. He is listed in Marquis' Who's Who in America, and Who's Who in the World. He is the recipient of 3 Bronze Telly awards, 3 Silver Angel awards, 2 Crystal Communicator awards, and a Silver medal from the Houston International Film Festival (WorldFest Houston).
