Carrie Lanza
film production services and research

I have recently resumed doctoral training at University of Washington in Social Welfare. My research interests focus on reproductive and maternal and child health and digital media.

Throughout my varied career, visual media has been at the core of my work. From restoring historical photo collections to incorporating photography and video into participatory action research projects to producing narrative shorts, I am passionate about story telling through images.

My prior media work experience also includes interning on the outreach campaign for Public Affairs Television's 2000 program, On Our Own Terms: Moyers on Dying; archival research and photo rights clearance for historical films and development of a distance learning curriculum for Experience Music Project's exhibit, American Sabor: Latinos in US Popular Music; and freelance production services for a number of local production houses, including Laughing Dog pictures, Von Piglet Productions, and Cinemabelli.
