** Remarks by Dr. Ronnie B. Lowenstein
** Presentation by Lance Kramer and Brandon Kramer, Meridian Hill Pictures: Giving Voice to People: New Access and Power in Community Video Storytelling
Lance Kramer is a filmmaker, educator and writer living in Washington DC. Lance is
the co-founder of Meridian Hill Pictures, where he directs and produces
documentaries, creates and facilitates media education programs for
youth and adults, and develops community engagement strategies built
around collaborative non-fiction storytelling. He has extensive outreach
and volunteer organizing experience working as a staff field organizer
during the 2008 presidential campaign. As a journalist, Lance has
written on news, music, film, arts and culture, for a variety of
newspapers—including the Pulitzer Prize-winning alternative newsweekly,
Willamette Week in Portland, Oregon. Lance has taught English to
children orphaned by HIV-AIDS in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where he helped
to co-found a summer language institute with the Ethiopian NGO Hope for
Children. Lance is a Maryland native and graduate of
Dartmouth College with a major in Asian and Middle Eastern History and a
minor in Film. He has traveled, studied and volunteered throughout
Honduras, Mexico, China, Japan, Denmark, Spain, Israel, the Palestinian
Territories, Jordan, Turkey, and Morocco. He is the author of Great Ancient China Projects You Can Build Yourself, a children’s book selected to the American Bookseller’s Association Fall 2008 Indie Next List.
Brandon Kramer is a filmmaker and educator living in Washington, DC. He has focused
his career and education on producing documentary films and teaching
youth and adults how to create their own films. Brandon is the
co-founder of Meridian Hill Pictures, and is currently teaching
participatory video projects for youth with the Sitar Arts Center and
the Kennedy Center. He is also teaching adults how to use pocket cameras
to document their own experience, as they participate in a DC-based
green job training program with Washington Parks & People. Brandon
has written, directed and produced several short documentaries that tell
social, cultural and environmental stories ranging from a local
neighborhood mobilizing together to build a community garden in a vacant
lot of NW Washington, DC to fishermen in Grand Isle, Louisiana who have
been impacted by the BP Oil Spill. Prior to starting Meridian Hill Pictures, Brandon
taught documentary filmmaking to youth at ten middle schools across the
country for the Kennedy Center’s On Location national tour. Brandon is a
Maryland native and graduated from Boston University, where he studied
