Background

About Eamonn McCrystal

Four-time Emmy Award-winning TV Producer and Director with a career spanning broadcast news, music, documentary, and live events. I specialize in leading projects that connect audiences across cultures — from coordinating ceremonies at the Vatican to producing content for BBC News in Los Angeles. My career began in Northern Ireland, teaching Music, Religious Studies, and English while working as a stage manager and production assistant for radio and live events. I also contributed to Vatican media and PR, coordinating masses in St. Peter’s Basilica crypts, performing for Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI, and supporting the L’Osservatore Romano photo archive team. These experiences grounded me in tradition, storytelling, and communication on a global stage. After moving to the United States in 2009, I signed with Capitol/Universal Music Group as a recording artist and producer, releasing albums, touring internationally, and producing music specials. This blend of performance and production provided the foundation for my transition into television. I became a U.S. citizen in 2020. In 2018, I founded Inspired, a production company with offices in Los Angeles and Northern Ireland. We produce award-winning documentaries, lifestyle series, and music programming for U.S. and European broadcasters, bridging American and European markets with culturally connected storytelling. Today, I balance leadership at Inspired. with freelance work for BBC News in Los Angeles and consultant for UnchainedTV, a nonprofit global streaming platform. I’m passionate about creating content that bridges cultures and brings meaningful stories to audiences worldwide.
