What do you do now? Has your art evolved or changed?
It was validation that my work has meaning and value.
What is one piece of advice you would give to an emerging artist?
I'm doing much the same thing, producing documentaries. My work has dealt much more directly with current social issues, and is less historical. I?m part of the Investigative Reporting Program at UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and work for PBS Frontline. The film ?Rape in the Fields,? which I wrote, produced, and directed for Frontline, recently won a 2014 duPont-Columbia University Award for excellence in broadcast journalism.

Briefly, how would you describe the state of the arts locally, as well as national and beyond?
Don't be afraid of making mistakes.
Irrepressible
