Congratulations to VISIONS winners!

American University's School of Communications announced the winners of the VISIONS festival on Friday, and I was pleased to present a Center for Social Media award to Michael Hyde, Christina Miesel, Jen Collins, Mariana Pereira and Nick Shupper's film Housecalls. The film takes an intimate look at the under served elderly community of southeast D.C. and one dedicated physician who comes to their homes for treatment. This film demonstrated the importance of addressing social issues through character development and nuance, and we commend this team for their great work.

Also congratulations to our own graduate fellow Claire Darby for winning the Best Documentary Script award!
