Channel Productions
Wierson is one of the Executive Producers in a film and television production company Channel Productions. The film arm of the company, Channel Production Films, produced the feature documentary film "Back Door Channels: The Price of Peace" which will be one of the opening night films of the 2010 Middle East International Film Festival, since re-branded as the Abu Dhabi Film Festival. Due to a special request from the Monte-Carlo Television Festival in Monaco, an early cut of the movie was shown in Monaco in 2009 to a private audience including Prince Albert. In June 2011, Fisher Klingenstein Films announced that it had acquired worldwide rights to "Back Door Channels: The Price of Peace" and laid out plans for a platform release in New York City on Sept. 16, 2011, followed by openings in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Cleveland, Boston and Philadelphia. The film deals with the 1979 Peace Treaty between Israel and Egypt and the unlikely circumstances and behind-the scenes jockeying that led to its coming to fruition. The film features former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, former Secretary-General of the U.N. Boutros Boutros-Ghali, Dr. Henry Kissinger, the former U.S. Secretary of State and CNN's Wolf Blitzer, among many other name-brand international statesmen and politicians.

“It is well known, that the best productions of the best human intellects, are generally regarded by those intellects as mere immature freshman exercises, wholly worthless in themselves, except as initiatives for entering the great University of God after death.”
