Curran Bernard,
Filmmaker and Writer
Working to articulate and improve
strategies and conditions for effective and ethical nonfiction storytelling in
print, traditional, and new media
As an independent contractor, I work with
clients as a writer, consultant, and
overseeing producer, helping to create and develop projects from initial
concept (including two $4 million PBS series with education and outreach
components); consulting on issues of story and structure for works-in-
progress; or stepping in to problem solve as needed.
