GUEST BIO

Lani Levine is an Emmy award- winning journalist and producer whose work spans combat sports and combat zones. Born across from the Coney Island Cyclone, her roller coaster career has taken her from negotiations with the Taliban to Tyson Fury’s fight camp to a secret 20,000 square foot warehouse full of Michael Jackson’s personal effects.


Known for thriving in high-stakes environments,
Lani combines sharp editorial instinct with crisis-
tested logistics: managing people, equipment, and
access in some of the world’s most volatile places.


Her projects have aired on HBO, National
Geographic, CBS, Showtime, FOX, TIME, ESPN,
VICE, HISTORY, and Amazon Prime. She began her
career at the famously high-stakes 60 Minutes
and most recently served as Executive Producer
of visionary director Olivier Sarbil’s VIKTOR, which
premiered in TIFF’s Platform competition.


Her work has earned some of journalism’s highest
honors, including multiple News & Documentary
Emmys, the Grierson British Documentary Award,
the Oscar shortlist, and the Edward R. Murrow
Award.
