John Davies - Television Producer, Documentary Film Maker

I met John in fourth grade and we were pals and hung out through high school and into college. John’s career in television began when he answered phones at WFLD TV Chicago’s Jerry Lewis Telethon while in high school. Six Emmy Awards and fifty years later John has produced content for SNL and countless TV pilots as well as producing numerous comedy series and Hollywood gala events. John has created over ten Chicago-centric documentaries, the most recent being “Lincoln is Crying”, a revelation of Illinois’ long tradition of corruption in its politics. Two of his independent films starring Jim Belushi were selected by Quentin Tarantino for his private collection of offbeat cinema. John’s full CV can be found at www.imdb.com/name/nm0203789/.
