Trent Cooper is a visionary filmmaker best known for his seven-year tenure as creative director and showrunner of NFL 360. His roots in narrative film infused the docuseries with cinematic style and emotional depth, elevating it into one of the most acclaimed storytelling brands in sports.
From 2021 to 2024, NFL 360 earned an industry-leading 42 Sports Emmy nominations and 10 wins.
Multiple Emmys went to films directed by Cooper, including the short documentaries—Heroes (2024), The Gift of Gaba (2021), and I Am Shaquem Griffin (2019)—each capturing deeply personal journeys of individuals overcoming extraordinary challenges. He also directed the feature-length, Emmy-winning Who If Not Us (2023), following American football players turned soldiers fighting on the frontlines of the war in Ukraine.
Most recently, Cooper created the Emmy-nominated Prime original series Raise the Flags (2025), chronicling the improbable rise of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers across their fifty-year history. Produced by Heroes & Fables, NFL Films, and Skydance Sports, the project debuted as Amazon’s most-engaged sports documentary to date and holds a 9.1 rating on IMDb.
Cooper is currently directing Titletown, ESPN’s six-part premium saga of the Green Bay Packers, produced by Omaha Productions, NFL Films, and Skydance Sports. Set to premiere alongside the Super Bowl in 2027, the series is a cinematic, character-driven telling of one of the great underdog stories in sports, shaped by Lombardi, Favre, and Rodgers and the mythology that fuels our love of the game.”
