documentary maker
timeline
born 1971When she was starting out, Dyllan McGee turned down her dream internship at the Today show to work at a small production company ~ gutsy considering she originally wanted to be the next Katie Couric! Two decades later, she'd produced numerous award-winning documentaries and become a partner in the company.
Today, Dyllan's re-imagining the documentary with MAKERS ~ her innovative digital project that aims to tell the stories of all the groundbreaking women who've shaped the US. Though her good work will never be complete, it's already the largest online video archive of its kind. Known as "Relentless McGee" for her persistence, Dyllan celebrates women's history + leadership through visionary storytelling.
