A longtime collaborator with North Carolina Dance Theatre (NCDT), Fitts began working with NCDT in 1988 as producer, multi-media director and scenic designer for John-Pierre Bonnefoux’s “Seeing Through.” In 2010, Fitts and NCDT’s Sasha Janes won a Telly Award for the documentary “Glass Houses” that shows the behind-the-scenes work on creating a new ballet. Fitts is also a former partner and vice president of production services at Tribble Creative Group.
“I look forward to developing new programs for broadcast that meet WTVI viewers’ expectations of quality content they can trust,” says Fitts. “We have some creative projects in the works that the community will be excited to see.”
Corporate production credits for Fitts Production Associates include special widescreen programmed event entertainment, film projects and corporate award shows in the United States, Australia, China, Germany, France and South Korea.
