Your audience
Preferred date/format (virtual or in-person)
Which topic interests you
I typically respond within 24-48 hours.
AUDIENCES
BOOK CLUBS
I love discussing the book with readers. What’s behind the stories, what didn’t make it onto the page, and what surprised me in the writing. Virtual sessions or in-person in the NYC area.
INDUSTRY EVENTS
Film schools, production companies, and media conferences. What fifty years behind the camera taught me about storytelling, the craft, the changes in the industry, and what hasn't changed.
LIBRARY & COMMUNITY EVENTS
From trafficking survivors to prisoners training guide dogs, I’ve spent decades documenting people society often overlooks. These talks focus on the power of storytelling and the resilience of the people behind the lens.
SCHOOLS & UNIVERSITIES
Career journeys, documentary filmmaking, and the ethics of the lens. What fifty years taught me about seeing the world clearly and knowing when to put the camera down.
CORPORATE EVENTS
Lessons in resilience, adaptation, and learning to see what others miss, told through real-world shoots that went right, and some that went very wrong.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Format: 30-60 minute presentation followed by Q&A
Delivery: Virtual (Zoom) or in-person (NYC area)
Style: Conversational storytelling with vivid examples from fifty years behind the lens. No PowerPoint. No slides. Just stories that put you there.
