ANTHONY DOMINICI

Writer, Producer, Director

PAnthony Dominici, two-time Emmy-winning producer, is currently the Executive Producer of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition for ABC.

“So many people in my family were devastated by Hurricane Katrina, I see Extreme Makeover: Home Edition as my opportunity to pay back all those who helped my city in its time of need,” says Dominici, a New Orleans native.

Dominici served as Executive Producer of America's Next Top Model with Tyra Banks for seven seasons, which consistently garnered the highest ratings for the CW network. He won two Emmy Awards for his work as Supervising Producer of The Amazing Race. He produced MTV's The Real World — Chicago and directed The Real World — New Orleans, The Real World/Road Rules Extreme Challenge, and The Real World — New York.

Dominici began his career as a camera assistant and later became a director of photography before producing and directing. His work as an assistant offered him opportunities to work with and learn from modern masters including Steven Spielberg, John Woo, and Bill Condon, as well as PBS Frontline documentaries “Pablo Escobar,” “Lee Harvey Oswald,” and “Dead Man Walking.” Cinematography credits include short films, music videos featured on MTV's Beavis & Butthead and Headbanger's Ball, and the low-budget feature-film, Final Cut.

Dominici's American Film Institute short, Gray Matter (co-writer, director), premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, and won the The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Award, The New York Expo Jury Award, and the AFI Bridges/Larson Directing Award. His second film, Peter Rabbit and the Crucifix (writer, producer, director), received prizes from several festivals including Sundance.

Dominici graduated from The American Film Institute conservatory with an MFA in Directing and a Certificate in Cinematography. He received his BA in Fine Arts Photography from The University of New Orleans.
