What Alan Weiss Productions does

Alan Weiss Productions (AWP) is a privately held, founder-owned video production company headquartered at 1243 California Rd, Eastchester, NY, operating with approximately 13 employees. The firm produces broadcast television entertainment specials, documentaries, public service announcements, corporate videos, healthcare education content, and non-profit fundraising material, with its flagship property being the Emmy Award-winning 'Teen Kids News,' which has run for more than 20 seasons. AWP serves a diversified enterprise client base spanning public television (PBS/WNET, ARISE News), consumer brands (Coca-Cola, Elizabeth Arden), non-profits and foundations (UJA-Federation of NY, National Road Safety Foundation, Michael J. Fox Foundation), and communications agencies (Weber Shandwick).

The company's underlying capability is end-to-end video production and post-production, with documented access to A-list celebrity talent including Michael J. Fox, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Taylor Swift, Bill Gates, and Michael Phelps. AWP has accumulated 16 Emmy Awards and 34 Emmy nominations across categories including Outstanding PSA, Outstanding Director, Outstanding Writer, Outstanding Post Production, Outstanding Informational Program, and Outstanding Nostalgia Programming, awarded by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. The firm also operates dedicated service lines for Government, Internet & New Media, and Gen Z & Gen Alpha content, suggesting a portfolio that extends beyond traditional broadcast.

AWP generates revenue through project-based professional services contracts on a quote-based pricing model. Distribution is direct-to-client, with no digital storefront, SaaS, or API offering. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investment, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. Geographic operations are domestic (USA) only, and there is no evidence of AI/ML, proprietary software, patents, or technology platform products — the business is a services organization whose primary assets are production craft, Emmy-recognized execution, and celebrity relationships.
