JOHN BACCHIA
Principal & Creative Director, Writer, Hilltop Media Productions
A two-time National Emmy Award winner with multi-category nominations across major screen awards, John Bacchia writes cinematic feature screenplays at the intersection of history, sports, and extraordinary human grit.
Bacchia’s narrative work leverages decades of experience as a documentary writer and director, grounding dramatic storytelling in rigorous research and authentic human conflict. His flagship feature draft, Tail-Gunner Blue: Safe at Home, tells the true story of Major League Umpire Augie Donatelli—from the flak-filled skies over war-torn Germany as a B-17 tail gunner to his pivotal role establishing the Major League Umpires Association in 1960s baseball. Bacchia creates sweeping, theme-rich narrative arcs featuring multi-layered roles tailored for A-list talent, making his scripts uniquely suited for prestige studio drama slates and global streaming audiences.
Backed by a career spanning hundreds of documentary and broadcast productions, Bacchia brings both creative vision and production-minded execution to the screen—delivering cinematic stories crafted for prestige streaming and studio feature releases.
