Screening guides for PBS SoCal

PBS has an events resourse library which makes it easier for educators, librarians, and community groups to host film screenings of PBS documentaries (link to press release).

I authored many of the official screening guides for several PBS series, including LOST LA, Roots of Comedy, Artbound and Earth Focus. Each guide expands upon the documentary with riveting discussion questions, fun activities, and multimedia resources, meant to spark curiosity and create a more interactive experience for viewers.

I worked within the PBS house style, which requires the writing to be politically neutral, even when approaching political topics, such as environmental conservation or LA city planning, as well as accessible, for audiences of all backgrounds and ages, from 9 to 90.
