Specializing in archival-driven, often neglected historical narratives, my most recent film, The Riot Report, Directed by Michelle Ferrari and co-produced by Jelani Cobb, will broadcast nationally in the Spring. Previous films can be seen on PBS, The New York Times, ESPN and Discovery Channel.I produced the four-hour series, The Vote, which premiered at AFI Docs in 2020 and was nominated for a Peabody Award. The series tells the story of American women's long-fought battle for the 19th Amendment. The Eugenics Crusade (2018), the two-hour documentary written and directed by Michelle Ferrari, received the WGA award for Best Documentary Script. Other credits for American Experience include, The First: Sandra Day O’Connor (2021), Rachel Carson (2016) and Space Men (2015). My short documentary, Scary Times (2020) premiered at the NYC Short Documentary Film Festival and won Best of Fest at the Hudson Valley Film Fest in 2021. I Co-Produced the 77-minute documentary, Qualified for ESPN’s 30 for 30, which chronicled the rise of the first female Indy 500 driver, Janet Guthrie.
