More about me
Winnie Kemp is an independent producer and managing director of Wolf at the Door, a sound studio in Venice that specializes in narrative fiction podcasts. Winnie was among Adweek’s 2017 list of female disruptors in media, one of Variety's 2018 New Leaders in Television and a 2019 Women in Film Insight Fellow.
She also served as SVP of television at Super Deluxe, a disruptive entertainment brand dedicated to cultivating diverse auteurs and amplifying unconventional creative voices. The company, which was a division of Turner, was described by The Los Angeles Times as shaping the future of television.
Winnie is a champion of unexpected and under-told stories that have emotional resonance. You can see her touch in such projects as This Close, a groundbreaking dramedy series about friendship that’s created by, written by and starring Shoshannah Stern and Josh Feldman, both of whom are deaf. The show got a straight-to-series order after premiering at the Sundance Film Festival in 2017 and the second season premiered on Sundance TV in fall 2019. The show was nominated for Best Comedy Series by the GLAAD Media Awards, nominated for a Peabody Award and won the PGA George Sunga Award.
Winnie also developed and executive produced Chambers, a YA supernatural thriller, which sold to a ten episode season order at Netflix. The show revolves around a Native American teenage girl who suffers a freak heart attack and must unravel the mysterious death of her heart donor, a privileged white girl who lives on the rich side of the tracks -- the first tv show from a major network to have a Native American starring in a lead role.
Winnie grew up in a Taiwanese family in the suburbs of Chicago and went to Stanford as an engineering major. After working in investment management in New York, she moved to Los Angeles in 2007 and worked at CAA and CBS Films. She shelters in Venice with her composer husband, Alex, and two sons, Atticus and Booker.
