Q&A to follow screening

Filmmaker Bio: Nicole is a Creative Director who works on storytelling, brand strategy, design, and video with clients ranging from mission-based startups and nonprofits to corporations. Storytelling has always come naturally to Nicole. A good listener, she recognizes the wisdom in understanding and identifying what is at the heart of a good story to create the right message. For the last seven years, she has created videos for non-profits, start-ups and corporations. Her love of documentaries and increasing focus on social justice issues led her to work on topics closer to her heart, such as inequity, transformation, and the resilience of the human spirit. She studied Psychology at Fordham University, and earned a Master’s degree in Anthropology at the University of Chicago. She lives in San Francisco.
