Welcome to NFL Films Alana I. Smith ????
Howard Alumna | 2025 NFL Films Rotational Fellow | Prev. Video Producer @DNC | Academy Gold Rising 2023
I’m thrilled to share some exciting news: I’ve officially started working full-time in the prestigious NFL Films Rotational Fellowship Program in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey! NFL Films is the film and television production company of the National Football League (NFL), and I’m excited to have the unique opportunity to rotate through four departments specializing in producing, field acquisition, post-production, and business. I can’t wait to learn firsthand how a production is created from the ground up alongside some of the best professionals in the industry. A huge thank you to the Emma Bowen Foundation, Opeoluwa M., and everyone who has supported me up to this point. I’m especially grateful to Charlotte Lorentzen for extending this incredible opportunity and to the team for guiding me through the interview process and welcoming me to my new role! This fellowship is truly a game-changer, and I’m eager to use it to enhance my knowledge and skills in sports storytelling and media production. It’s a dream come true, and I’m honored to be one of two Fellows. I look forward to making a meaningful contribution to the NFL this year and inspiring communities from all walks of life. #WomenInSportsFilmmaking #WomenHistoryMonth
