Director/Writer/Producer
Terri Randall studied painting and fine art photography in college, and it was her love of imagery that led her into filmmaking. She began by working as a researcher, finding photos and archival footage for historical documentaries. From researcher, to associate producer, to writer/producer she’s works in every phase of production. In the early days of her career, there weren’t many opportunities for female directors, so Terri created her own. She directed and narrated her 1998 independent documentary short Daughter of the Bride which was nominated for an Academy Award and aired on HBO. Another of her personal films, To Know Where They Are, tells the story of her trip to Poland with her father to uncover what happened to their family during the Holocaust. Funded by the Anti-Defamation League, it’s been used in schools across the country to teach students about the Holocaust.
Since 2008, Terri has directed more than a dozen documentaries for PBS’s NOVA series. Her 2022 documentary Ultimate Space Telescope, about the James Webb Space Telescope, was nominated for a News & Documentary Emmy.
Terri has also directed several short dramatic films for the History Channel, many of which are now permanently displayed at historical sites like George Washington’s Mount Vernon and Independence Hall in Philadelphia. These films follow the same approach she uses in her documentaries: letting compelling storytellers tell their own stories. One example is George and Martha Washington: A 40-Year Romance, which is based on Martha Washington’s letters to George, with Glenn Close as the voice of Martha Washington.
