Chazen has had a very impressive decade-long career in television, beginning with his enrollment in NBC’s storied Page Program in June 2009, shortly after he graduated Davidson College. After three years working in integrated marketing at NBCUNI, Chazen made the move to CAA in 2012, joining the Alternative Television department in New York City. 

Within the past year, Chazen has put together several premium projects on behalf of his clients, including the upcoming definitive Jerry Garcia documentary from clients the Jerry Garcia Estate, LLC., Justin Kreutzmann, and Radical Media.

He sold BuzzFeed’s Tasty and The Magical Elves’ SNOOP AND MARTHA’S A VERY TASTY HALLOWEEN to Peacock.  The competition special, hosted by Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart, featured talented bakers who faced-off in a delectable Halloween showdown. Teams of three bakers were tasked with baking and building a full-sensory 12’x12’ Halloween world that people can literally explore, taste and devour. 

He partnered Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker Joe Berlinger with Radical Media and The Atlantic for a conspiracy theory docuseries, SHADOWLAND.  Based on the critically acclaimed multi-article interactive project from The Atlantic, SHADOWLAND investigates conspiracy theories capturing the public imagination and explore the life-changing impact they’re having on supporters and those caught in the crosshairs, to discover whether truth as we’ve known it can survive in the 21st century. 

Most recently, Chazen, in a very competitive situation, closed a landmark deal at NatGeo for his client Little Dot Studios (all3Media).  Under the agreement, he set-up an epic documentary event detailing the successful search and discovery of one of the great lost shipwrecks of history, Sir Ernest Shackleton’s Endurance. Set to premiere this  fall, the documentary event will air globally on National Geographic Channels and Disney+.
