Documentary group Wavelength Productions has launched a new commercial film division, to be run by branded content veteran Zack McTee.
Wavelength, set up by Jenifer Westphal in 2015, has quickly become a force in the documentary feature space, backing such nonfiction features as Knock Down the House — Rachel Lears’ look at four female Democrats who ran for Congress in 2018, including eventual winner, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — and Matt Tyrnauer’s Where’s My Roy Cohn?, a profile of the notorious lawyer whose clients have ranged from Sen. Joseph McCarthy to then-real estate developer Donald Trump.
McTee was formerly a principal at Allegory Productions, where he helped produce and direct branded and commercial content for the likes of Nike, Volvo, CNN, and BMW/Mini.
Wavelength’s current documentary slate includes Unschooled, from directors Rachel Beth Anderson and Timothy Grucza. The examination of a radical new educational program in North Philadelphia premiered at the DocNYC festival this week.
