ALAN'S STORY
During his undergrad years at Northeastern University Alan worked at NPR's headquarters in Washington, DC before graduating and then joining the production crew of a few major motion pictures, including one starring Meryl Streep, Alfred Molina, and Liam Neeson. During this time, he realized a growing market demand for high-quality, story-driven content.
In 1997 Alan began assisting directing a CBS syndicated television series (The Wild Wild Web) with Boston DP Austin de Besche and went on to create culture and fashion segments for the show. Grazioso recognized the web's early power, specifically how streaming video would significantly influence how Americans consumed information, entertainment, and media.
Alan formed Grazioso Pictures, Inc. (GP), a production company based outside of Boston, Massachusetts, in 2000 with a group of talented creatives (producers, animators, writers, directors of photography, and editors). From the beginning, the company prioritized original ideas, creative development, client services, building an innovative team, and technological innovations. Alan also provided consulting and content development for non-profits and startups.
Alan closed GP in 2017 to undertake a full-time position at Harvard Business School. His HBS team won a coveted Silver Telly Award for a multimedia case he produced in the spring of 2021. Alan was then offered and accepted the newly created "Executive Producer of Multimedia" position at Harvard Radcliffe Institute in early 2022. He is currently in charge of leading technological innovations and telling the Institute's many stories.
Alan has worked with some of the world's most respected brands and organizations, including PBS, Oxfam International, Zappos, BMW, Boston Red Sox, Accenture, New Balance, Harvard University, Activision, Southwest Airlines, Subway, AT&T, Consumer Reports, Timberland, TripAdvisor, MINI, and others.
