I work as a paid consultant for WhiteHatWIki, which was hired by Howard Hughes Medical Institute, where the subject of this article works. This article is a well done GA, but it’s missing important content. For the past several years, Sean Carroll’s been more active in his role as the head of a major TV and film studio than any other aspect of his career. I’ve suggested additions below to document his film and TV work. Thank you.

He served as the narrator [5] and executive producer of the Emmy award-winning [1] 2018 documentary The Serengeti Rules; a film based on Carroll’s book of the same name. [5] Reason: Another well-documented example of his role as an executive producer of a major film project, especially important here as this is based on Carroll’s own book.

Reason: Carroll’s career for the past several years has been dominated by his running HHMI Tangled Bank studios. His title is “head” of the studio.

Carroll does not come at science documentary strictly as a producer (...) But since establishing Tangled Bank Studios in 2012, and executive producing such acclaimed films as the Emmy winning The Serengeti Rules and Oliver Sacks: His Own Life (...)
All That Breathes, produced by HHMI Tangled Bank Studios, a nonprofit arm of the science philanthropy Howard Hughes Medical Institute, represents an evolution in science documentary filmmaking. To attract bigger, younger, and more diverse audiences, producers and directors have moved from science explainers, once the bane of high school science classes, to narrative features filled with human drama. That evolution mirrors Tangled Bank’s own. “I’ve really learned how important it is to go for the emotional heart of a story,” says Tangled Bank executive producer Sean B. Carroll, an American evolutionary developmental biologist, author, and the head of HHMI Tangled Bank Studios. “When we find that, we’ve got a qualitatively different film. Great storytellers can elevate a story to something that is both art and science.”
studio website I initially didn’t include the full title because the word studio would then be repeated twice, but I see your point and I have re-drafted it as follows:

Biology professor Sean B. Carroll also runs the film studio at Howard Hughes Medical Institute, HHMI Tangled Bank Studios. He oversaw the production of “All That Breathes.”
By Barry Walsh “Realscreen” (30 May 2023)
As a developmental biologist, Sean B. Carroll has immersed himself in the stuff of life — the molecular building blocks that make us what we are, and create our surroundings.
- As the head of HHMI Tangled Bank Studios — the film and television content production arm of the Maryland-headquartered Howard Hughes Medical Institute — Carroll is dedicated to sharing that knowledge, and his enthusiasm about science and nature, with audiences.
By Barry Walsh “Realscreen” (10 December 2020)
But what concerns some of them, including Sean Carroll, head of the studio department for HHMI Tangled Bank Studios…
- Carroll does not come at science documentary strictly as a producer. In addition to his studio role at the nonprofit filmmaking arm of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), he also serves as vice president for science education for the organization…
As Head of Studio, Sean B. Carroll directs HHMI Tangled Bank Studios’ mission, strategy, and editorial focus, and oversees both the documentary and dramatic film slates.
- An internationally recognized scientist, award-winning author, and Emmy-winning executive producer, Carroll is the architect of HHMI’s filmmaking initiative to bring great stories about science and scientists to broad audiences. He has served as executive producer on a wide variety of feature documentaries, IMAX, and short films.

and an executive producer who runs HHMI Tangled Bank StudiosI'm afraid that this description is not very informative, as I stated earlier, there is no Wikipedia page for the description of someone who "runs a company" (which is not an official description). That is more of a euphemism for other, more established labels like president, CEO, etc.

Where it says "but not limited to", I take this to include the listing of awards as well, even to awards received by an individual in the scope of their work. That section goes on to state what to do when an attempt is made to include that information in the article, and while this particular wording speaks to pricing, I think it applies well to awards:Neither articles nor their associated talk pages are for conducting the business of the topic of the article. Listings to be avoided include, but are not limited to: business alliances, clients, competitors, employees (except CEOs, supervisory directors and similar top functionaries), equipment, estates, offices, store locations, contact information, patent filings, products and services, sponsors, subdivisions and tourist attractions.
An article should not include product pricing or availability information (which can vary widely with time and location) unless there is an independent source and encyclopedic significance for the mention, which may be indicated by mainstream media sources or books (not just product reviews) providing commentary on these details instead of just passing mention.
