DIR - Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld docu-feature, INTERMEDIACY 🏳️‍🌈 | Fulbright Scholar, 🇩🇪 2023/24

About

I am a filmmaker, producer, and editor with over a decade of experience exploring the intersections of history, culture, and identity through video. Most recently, I was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to develop and direct my debut feature documentary, INTERMEDIACY: THE LIFE OF DR. MAGNUS HIRSCHFELD, which uncovers the origins of modern, Western queer identity and traces its enduring influence in Berlin today. Working with Vox Media, McGee Media, and A+E Networks, among others, my career spans the worlds of editorial media, non-profit, and broadcast television. I have created over 100 short documentaries, promo spots, and explainer videos viewed by millions, with a particular focus spotlighting extraordinary women, LGBTQIA+ folks, and Black Americans. I also serve as Outreach Coordinator for Out on Film festival, fostering connections that elevate queer cinema and community.
