I have the honor of working with filmmakers from time to time, helping them find ways to tell their stories best.
I often consult with documentary filmmakers, but I’ve also worked with screenwriters for television and film and producers and directors.
It’s great fun. One of those “I can’t believe I told a story on a NYC stage back in 2011, and now I’m doing this for a living” moments.
They happen a lot.
The video below is a short documentary about how automobiles have come to define our shared spaces in American culture. It’s directed and produced by Justine Underhill, with whom I have had the pleasure of working many times.
I worked with Justine in this particular film to help structure and refine the story.
I even received a credit at the film’s end, which rarely happens. Thanks, Justine.
It’s an example of fascinating reporting and illustrative filmmaking that I highly recommend.
You won’t see the American landscape in the same way ever again.
