I'm beyond thrilled to have my next guest on the show. Not only is Lois Vossen a legend in documentary film but she's also the person that put my first film into the world. We cover a lot of ground and her perspective on the state of things will be very interesting to anyone working doc film today.
Lois Vossen is the Founding Executive Producer of Independent Lens, leading the PBS series to win 27 Emmy Awards, 28 Peabody Awards, 10 duPont-Columbia Awards, and 10 Oscar nominations. Previously, she was the Associate Managing Director of Sundance Film Festival and Labs. She served on the Television Academy Board of Governors and continues on its DEIA Committee. Lois is a member of AMPAS and has been on juries for festivals like TIFF, SXSW, and Palm Springs. Under her leadership, Independent Lens has co-produced notable films like Philly D.A., I Am Not Your Negro, and The Trials of Muhammad Ali.
