Join us for a workshop with Amy Schatz, Emmy-winning director and producer of children's shows, series, and documentaries. She has won 8 Emmy Awards, 6 Directors Guild of America Awards, 3 Peabody Awards, Parents' Choice Awards, and others.
Her films—a mix of animation, documentary, celebrity performances, and interviews with kids—tackle historical issues and current events such as the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., Parkland students’ healing journey through music and drama, and the impact of 9/11 on high school students.
Schatz is a graduate of McGill University in Montreal. She is a member of the Directors Guild of America, Women in Film, and the Academy of TV Arts & Sciences.
She will discuss her day-to-day life as a filmmaker, how she tells effective stories, and the role of confidence in her success.
