Sheila 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.
