I am a documentary filmmaker, professor, and 2022 Public Voices Fellow on the Climate Crisis with the OpEd Project and Yale Program on Climate Change Communication. This year, I am releasing a new feature documentary “How To Power A City.” The book based on its transcripts, “Communities and the Clean Energy Revolution,” is available wherever books are sold. Another one of my documentaries, “The Poetry Deal: a film with Diane di Prima,” is currently airing on PBS and public television stations nationwide.
