NorthSouth Productions a PLATFORM for STORYTELLERS, ARTISTS, and VISIONARIES

Makers of comedy, lifestyle, and documentary series, NorthSouth is one of the world’s most trusted content creators. They’ve successfully navigated the ever-changing media landscape for over 25 years by putting talent and creators first. This talent-led approach has yielded long-running series and created household names, including Impractical Jokers, 100 Day Dream Home, and Say Yes to the Dress - Atlanta.

 

Impractical Jokers, now in its 13th season, continues to be a global comedy force with the consistently top 10 ratings in key demos across all linear networks.

 

In 2012, founder Charlie DeBevoise sold half of NorthSouth to Hearst Media, one of the largest privately owned media companies in the world.

OUR TEAM

Charlie founded NorthSouth in October 2000 and describes the essence of his work as "professional enabler." He has a masochistic love of development and couldn't imagine a better way to go crazy. He recently launched NoSo Films, a premium doc division. In 2012, he sold half the company to media giant, Hearst.

CHARLIE DEBEVOISE

CEO/Executive Producer

Marsha has been with NorthSouth since its humble beginnings and witnessed unsavory behavior during the company’s wild Miami era. She has mastered everything from x to y, but mostly z. As NorthSouth’s EVP of Operations, Marsha’s current focus is on NorthSouth people, places and policies. When not doing this, you can find her pursuing the hobby du jour which to date has included ballroom, piano, drum lessons and horseback riding.

MARSHA BALLARD

EVP, Operations

Amy has spent the last thirteen years producing unscripted, scripted, digital, and documentary content in New York City. As an in-house Executive, her role is to oversee the finances, logistics, and operations of all the companies’ projects. Her ability to handle a wide range of these at once is imperative to the ongoing success of the company. Prior to New York City she spent ten years working on feature films and scripted television in New Zealand, her birthplace.

AMY WALLACE

VP, Production

Jennifer has worked at NorthSouth as an Executive Producer, Showrunner, Director, Story Editor, and Writer—often all at once. She’s spent the last two decades traversing the country running series in Tampa, Miami, Los Angeles, New York, Phoenix, Chicago and her adopted home town of Atlanta. Among Jennifer's credits are series for HGTV, TLC, A&E, Discovery, Food, Lifetime, WE and Travel Channel.

JEN HOLBACH

EP, Head of Current

Margot heads up the Post Production Department in Knoxville and has worked at NorthSouth for over fifteen years. After graduating from the University of Tennessee in 2004 with a Bachelor’s in Political Science, she quickly put her degree to use by landing a job in reality television. She spends most of her time in dark edit bays supervising online edits, managing quality control, ensuring the timely delivery of shows, and juggling the ever changing schedules and deadlines of post production.

MARGOT GATTUSO

VP, Post-Production

Sean, easily the most literate member of NorthSouth, has tolerated our low-brow industry since 2011 and we are thankful for that! Since then, he has largely focused on the ingest side of production, archiving, IT, and, in the earlier days, quality control. He will proofread your writing, and you shouldn't take it personally.
