Berra Joins Firelight Media

We are delighted to share the news that Monica Berra (MFA ’16) has joined the staff of Firelight Media, the New York based production house co-founded by Stanley Nelson.

Firelight is known for producing powerful historical documentaries and strong community engagement campaigns. Its line-up of award-winning films includes The Murder of Emmett Till, Jonestown: The Life and Death of People’s Temple and The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution, which was recently nominated for an Emmy in the Exceptional Merit In Documentary Filmmaking category.

Berra will serve as the Impact and Engagement Coordinator for Tell Them We Are Rising: The Story of Historically Black Colleges and Universities, a film Nelson is producing for PBS.  It is a project Berra first became familiar with as an intern at Firelight last summer.  We are ecstatic that Monica is joining such a creative and supportive filmmaking community.
