Streaming Stars, Then and Now

During his 40-year career in television and film, Carlo Gennarelli has earned 14 Emmy Awards and 2 International Monitor Awards as both editor and producer. He has been involved with a variety of TV programs for every major American television network and cable outlet. Contributions to milestone programming from "ABC News," "CBS Sports," "ESPN's ESPY Awards," and 9 Olympic Broadcasts from 1984 to 2006 represent some of his achievements.

Gennarelli is also an award-winning independent filmmaker. His latest documentary feature, "Made by Immigrants (2022)," is an autobiographical tale of an American son of Italian immigrants from the same small countryside town. As an adult, he discovers hidden documents, photos, and letters belonging to his deceased parents. These artifacts prove to be a revelation that prompts him to investigate his genetic roots. By doing this, a new and unexpected world opens up, exposing the complex saga of immigration in America during the early 20th century. It is a film that has touched audiences throughout the United States and Italy.

In 2012 he directed, produced, and edited the international award-winning documentary, "Ordinary Joe." This feature-length film tells the tale of an ordinary American blue-collar worker and Vietnam veteran who now annually returns to Southeast Asia to help the poor, diseased, and disabled. This moving documentary was accepted for worldwide distribution through PBS International. He has also edited and produced many television documentaries for A&E, Bravo, CBS, Discovery, ESPN, and NBC.

Drawing on his passion for classic rock music, Gennarelli directed, produced, edited, and co-wrote a 2-hour special for the Discovery Network entitled "Temples of Rock (2003)," revisiting some of the seminal theaters, studios, and clubs in rock and roll history. For it, he personally conducted exclusive interviews with dozens of rock icons such as Graham Nash, Johnny Ramone, Smokey Robinson, and Ringo Starr.

Gennarelli's contributions to "The Great Zamperini," a biographical documentary aired as part of the 1998 Olympic Winter Games on CBS, garnered him an Outstanding Program Achievement Emmy Award. This critically acclaimed 40-minute short film about an American Olympian, Louis Zamperini, detailing his ordeal as a POW in World War II, became the impetus for the bestselling book, "Unbroken," and the subsequent feature film.

While continuing to contribute to the TV industry, as well as producing his own independent films, Carlo Gennarelli is also an Associate Professor at Hofstra University in New York, teaching classes in television production and studies. Carlo is a graduate of NYU and holds a Master's degree in Studio Art. Before his television/film career, he was an exhibiting artist in New York's Soho art district with works in the collections of several university galleries around the nation. He maintains that his artistic background has helped define his success in the film and television arena.
