Executive Producer [email Donna]

Donna Bertaccini co-owns and is Executive Producer for Molesworth Enterprises, Inc. She graduated on scholarship from New York University's prestigious Film and Television BFA program. Throughout her career she has worked in many different capacities for a variety of international and domestic broadcasters, not only as a director, producer, writer, reporter, and researcher, but as a professional sound recordist and camera operator. She is a member of NABET (The National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians,) NATAS (National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences,) and SAG (Screen Actors Guild.) Additionally, she has worked over the years as a professional model for both print and network television.

Over the past two decades, Donna has gone from interviews with Richard M. Nixon, to tea with Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh in Barbados at Governor's House on the occasion of Her Majesty's 1989 visit, to flying from New York to London on British Airways Concorde with Margaret Thatcher for an interview on the eve of John Majors' second win, to interviews with American Presidents George Bush Sr., and Bill Clinton, to President George W. Bush in the White House, to dinner at the British Embassy in Cuba, to zigzagging the US with the press corps over the years covering the campaign trail. In doing so, Donna has worked with the most respected broadcasting organizations, journalists and newsmakers of the past several decades. Always covering a wide variety of stories, she enthusiastically travels the world.

Donna's love of travel was fueled at an early age. She began her globe trotting as a toddler with her parents and three siblings. By the age of sixteen, her family's extensive explorations had taken them to Italy, Switzerland, England, Scotland, France, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Israel, Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean, Hawaii and throughout the continental US, several times over. Brazil, Japan, China, Egypt and Cuba would soon follow. She graduated high school a year early, and NYU's BFA program by the age of twenty. Eager to continue her world travels, (albeit on someone else's dime other than her parents,) she started out her career as an independent documentary film producer and shortly after joined professional forces with her husband, Director of Photography, Mark Molesworth.

Donna's extensive list of production credits include work for the following broadcast networks: BBC, PBS, ABC, NBC, Turner Broadcasting, ITN, Canadian Broadcasting, Granada TV, Sky-1, Yorkshire Television, Scottish Television, Italian RAI, Australian Channels 7 and 9, German networks ARD and ZDF, Netherlands RTL, Discovery/TLC, National Geographic, ESPN and HDNet, etc.

She maintains dual Italian/US citizenship and currently lives in Connecticut with her husband Mark and three children.
