Alan founded Parallax Productions in 1988 after eight years of “boot camp” as a nationally syndicated producer for “Evening Magazine” at WBZ-TV, Boston. The recipient of numerous awards including multiple Emmys, Alan has been recognized throughout his career for excellence as a director, producer, and writer. With over 30 years of experience working on broadcast programming, documentaries, commercials, PSAs, music videos, web content and corporate videos, Alan thrives on tackling the next big challenge. He has worked on location all over the US, Africa, India, Israel, The Far East, and Europe. In the late 90’s, Alan was the creator, executive producer and director of the nationally syndicated TV series, "The Wild Wild Web". For three successful seasons, the program was acclaimed as the television guide to the Internet. Distributed by CBS/King World, "The Wild Wild Web" aired in 148 markets across the country. More recently he produced, wrote and directed the award-winning documentary, “Song for New Orleans.” Broadcast nationally and distributed internationally by Hearst Television, the feature-length film chronicles the rebirth of the New Orleans music scene immediately after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. No matter how ambitious or modest the project, Alan’s philosophy is that nothing is “off the rack” at Parallax. Surrounded by an exceptional production team, he continues to push the boundaries to deliver minty fresh creativity to his clients.

Alan has a Bachelors Degree in Psychology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and earned a Masters Degree in Broadcasting and Film from Boston University. When not at work, he is an avid road cyclist, jazz drummer, and skier. His favorite productions are in collaboration with his wife Terri…their sons Daniel, Jesse, and Ben. His little black dog named Bear is really cute but neurotic. Good thing he has that psych degree.

From multi-camera shoots featuring 100 extras and prancing horses, to bilingual documentary crews in a remote village in Botswana, no project is too complex or exotic for Tara to manage. Quick turnaround? Tight budget? No problem. Demanding celebrities? No location? Seen that movie. Need it in 4 additional languages? She has heard it all and will figure out a way to get it done. Since early 2007, Tara has worked at Parallax creating engaging and effective public awareness campaigns on various subjects including HPV, opioid addiction, breast cancer, diabetes, and cutting edge drug treatments. She wrangled celebrities nationwide for the Emmy Award-winning “Conversations with Carlos Watson” primetime series. Other Parallax highlights include the Emmy nominated “Frozen Moments” Saucony commercial, “Connect With Your Kids” PSA for the American Library Association, and a really cool spot for Hearts On Fire Diamonds featuring a world-class figure skater.

Prior to Parallax, Tara spent seven years at The Rendon Group Productions where she managed production on 19 Emmy nominated projects in the New England Region, 5 of which won in their respective categories.

After college, Tara spent four years working in Los Angeles and lived to tell about it. She worked for various media companies including The Samuel Goldwyn Company, Orion Pictures, MTV, Atlantic Records, and King World.

Tara is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where she double majored in Communications Studies and English. She was a member of the Carolina track team throwing shot put and discus, so don’t get on her bad side. These days, Tara enjoys jogging, dancing, Pilates and credits her dog Nia for maintaining her sanity.

Part producer, part editor, part production ninja, Cameron Femino wears many hats at Parallax Productions. Whether it’s tackling a demanding edit or coordinating rental houses and crews to equip a multi-camera shoot, Cameron’s passion for complex challenges gives him an edge in the fast-paced world of production.

As a recent film school graduate of Full Sail University in Orlando, Florida, Cameron landed an internship at Parallax in the fall of 2009. He quickly flourished, impressing the staff with his ability to handle a wide variety of projects in the edit suite and anything else we threw at him. Four months later, he was offered a full-time position and has quickly grown into a valuable member of Team Parallax.

His storytelling abilities as an editor were recognized in 2010 with an Emmy nomination for an HPV PSA campaign and web series he cut. Parallax was also recently nominated for an Emmy for a running shoe commercial that Cameron played a major role in producing.

We are proud of Cameron’s meteoric rise at Parallax and his unflagging patience with people born before 1988.

Taylor officially joined “Team Parallax “ in January 2012, after making the move back from Los Angeles. There, after spending 2005 with FOX TV, she thrived as Production Accountant for the first six seasons of CBS/ABC’s “Criminal Minds." As her sixth year there wrapped up, she knew she had the yearning and potential to do much more. Biting the bullet, she left the show to get back to the production side of life, and hit the ground running as Production Coordinator for the Race Across America’s media crew. Managing a team of 26, in 5 vehicles often 500 miles apart, while updating a global audience on the race and riders’ progress across the continent was quite the adventure. Coordinating this and all media coverage of ever-moving cyclists and their crews out of hotels, campsites, and the back of a moving van was quite the “180” from A/P processing in her cozy studio office.

Returning to LA, Taylor quickly realized that if she listened to her heart and changed careers, why not let it also lead her home…

Born and raised in a quaint lobstering village on the coast of Maine, a graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy, then Northeastern University as a Communications major, and ironically a former resident of our building when she worked for Scout Productions in 2004, Taylor is thrilled to be back in Boston. After some freelancing, she came to Parallax, and happily jumped right into coordinating our Hearts On Fire Diamonds’ “Evolution of Perfection” video shoot.

In her free time, you’ll probably find Taylor outdoors- hiking, running, snowshoeing, kayaking- all over New England… and always with her sweet four-legged counterpart, Chance, by her side. An unexpected blessing in her life, he’s a true case of “Who rescued Who?” Her Peace Corps-veteran, world-travelling humanitarian parents also keep life in perspective and her biggest honor is having them as role models.

Based in New York, Matt joined Parallax Productions in 2011 as an Executive Producer, heading up our new-business development efforts.

As a former pharmaceutical sales rep with Sanofi-Aventis followed by a career as a PR agency professional who created corporate and investor communications for biotech, pharmaceutical, and medical device companies including: Insmed, Pfizer, Cyberonics and product communications for Teva Pharmaceuticals’ Parkinson's Disease drug AZILECT®, Matt understands the production needs and communications goals of both agency partners and product marketers.

Is TV advertising or viral video on your mind? Corporate reputation or brand building? Preparing for an important presentation to industry influencers or an internal meeting to rally the troops? Since he’s been on the agency and client side of the table, Matt knows how video can be leveraged to deliver high impact advertising, marketing, and PR messages to key audiences.

A graduate of American University in Washington, DC, Matt is an avid chef who loves to transform his home into a Parisian bistro worthy of at least one or two Michelin Stars. When he is not dreaming up his next culinary creation, Matt teams with his wife, Mary Claire, to play and travel with their kids, Matthew and Amelie. Despite the fact that Matt is a rabid New York Yankees, Rangers and Jets fan, we do occasionally allow him up to the Boston office.
