About Witt Lacy
Professional Background
Hi, I’m Witt, and I’m all about bringing big ideas to life through structure.
For over a decade, I’ve been at the heart of feature films, TV shows, commercials, and live productions, where creative dreams meet the real-world challenges of getting things done. I’ve led teams of over 200 people, managed intricate schedules and huge budgets, and guided projects from the very start to the final wrap.
But what I truly do is create clarity.
Assistant directing is about setting the pace before the cameras start rolling. Producing is about stepping up when things change. I build systems that protect the vision, align the team, and keep the work moving—even when the pressure is high and the clock is ticking.
I believe that getting ready makes you free.
I believe that structure helps you be creative.
And I believe that leadership shines when everyone else feels the strain.
Whether it’s a feature film, a national campaign, or a live event, my role remains the same: steady the process, support the people, and deliver the work.
If there’s a story to tell or a production to build, I’m ready to help make it happen.
I’m a filmmaker and video production specialist based in Savannah, Georgia, with experience as a DGA Assistant Director, Producer, Director, and Location Manager. I love working in teams—collaborating closely with crews on commercial, narrative, and multimedia projects to keep everything organized, creative, and running smoothly. Whether I’m handling logistics or supporting the creative side, I bring teamwork, technical skills, and a passion for storytelling to every project I’m involved in. I work locally, regionally, and nationally, teaming up with amazing teams to create impactful, visually stunning work.
While I’m based in Savannah, Georgia, I work with clients locally and on projects across the region and the country.
"It's multitasking, it's empathy, and it's channeling visuals into human emotion." - Rachel Morrison
I’ve worn many hats throughout my journey in media production and each role has deepened my understanding of how every department contributes to great storytelling and a deep, well-rounded understanding of how great films are made. Collaborating with teams at Amazon, Brass Inc., and Fox has strengthened my project management, budgeting, and scheduling abilities while sharpening my creativity and problem-solving under pressure. This blend of creative insight and practical expertise helps me approach every project as a stronger, more thoughtful filmmaker, dedicated to crafting cinematic, engaging, and unforgettable stories.
