Not even counting the fact that Jack Dodson worked on two continents (in the US and in Israel) to make this story come together, he did a terrific job telling the story. He was very open to editorial notes and structural guidance.

**My website has my most up-to-date work, as I don't always use Storyhunter. www.jackdodson.net I'm a documentary filmmaker and journalist formerly based in NYC and Palestine, now traveling regularly to cover issues globally. I'm focused mainly on state violence against marginalized communities, as well as long-term investigations. My background is in both newspapers and documentary filmmaking -- including working under Alex Gibney at Jigsaw Productions for a year and a half. I finished studying at Columbia Journalism School in September 2016, after specializing in both the investigative and documentary programs, and currently freelance on both print and video assignments.

Jack came in on an assignment that had been dropped by a previous producer and did a terrific job. He told the story well and it looked great.

NONPROFIT: Reshma's story
On International Women's Day in 2014, we released a unpublished scene from the "Health for All" project telling the story Reshma, a bride-burning victim. This was the most important part of my film work in India in 2012, and I collaborated with the nonprofit in the video to release the short video a few years later.
