Xenia Shin is a producer for Women Transforming Transforming Media, an initiative of The MY HERO Project. Sponsored by the American Association of University Women, this program produces online profiles dedicated to women using media to create social change. The initiative brings together work by women in development and in the mainstream media, with the aim of showing the commonalities between the two spheres.
For the initiative, Xenia has interviewed Abigail Disney, Executive Producer of the award-winning documentary Pray the Devil Back to Hell; Melissa Silverstein, editor-in-chief of Women and Hollywood; Eva Haller, philanthropist, Magnusson Fellow and holocaust survivor; Kathy Eldon, author and founder of Creative Visions; Alyse Nelson, CEO of Vital Voices and author; Cari Beauchamp, author of Without Lying Down: Frances Marion and the Powerful Women of Early Hollywood; and Samara Hutman, Executive Director of the Holocaust Museum.
Xenia has written film reviews for Asia Pacific Arts magazine and received the Betty Rymer Fellowship for Creative Writing. For this class visit, she will screen the new profile on filmmaker Christine Choy.
The event is free and open to the public, with limited seating.
Sponsored by the Department of Film & Media Studies, in coordination with the class FMS 130 / ASAM 114, Documentary Practices.
