Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A filmmaker-journalist’s portfolio spanning documentary films, writing, journalism, and media strategy.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

The homepage organizes the work by medium and role rather than presenting a conventional services funnel. Film entries include production credits and short synopses: Human Nature centers on CRISPR’s scientific and ethical implications, while The Last Class follows Robert Reich at UC Berkeley. The writing section also connects a 35,000-plus-subscriber newsletter with a bestselling book co-written with Dan Rather, giving the portfolio a clear public-affairs throughline.
