My most recent independent production Welcome to the Club – The Women of Rockabilly, a music documentary about the pioneering women of rock and roll was honored with a 2003 Grammy nomination and has been seen on public television and at film festivals in the U.S. and abroad.I’m currently at work on a feature-length music documentary - The Winding Stream, the story of the Carter and Cash families being done in conjunction with the Country Music Hall of Fame. I have had a long standing relationship with Oregon Public Broadcasting, producing, directing, writing and developing shows for national air. Back in Boston, I worked as a line producer and associate producer on various shows for PBS, among them programs for NOVA, Frontline and The Health Quarterly, as well as two PBS specials. These shows have been honored with a number of awards, including a Peabody and two National Emmy nominations. Besides my work with Film Action Oregon, I’ve been a board member of Oregon Media Production Association, and a past President of Women in Film/New England and a former Vice President of Women in Film/Seattle.
