Claire Dooley joined Palladium Pictures in 2026 as an Associate Producer. An independent documentary producer and director, she has contributed to more than six films as a producer and also creates short-form programming for CHDtv. Her work is driven by stories that challenge mainstream narratives on both the left and right while searching for common ground between them—a belief she sums up simply as “Team Human.”
Focused primarily on documentaries, she is drawn to nonfiction storytelling because real stories often reveal the deepest truths about human nature. Outside of filmmaking, she is passionate about motherhood, service dog training, and farm arts. She also studied under mentor Ralph Madison in New Orleans, an experience that helped shape her creative path. Her favorite film is Forrest Gump.
