Talking Eyes Media: Multimedia Social Activism

In a media landscape cluttered with negative stories that don’t always offer solutions, Julie and Ed have made it their mission to create documentary films, exhibitions, and photo essays that inspire and advocate for change. Watch as Winokur and Kashi discuss their respective artistic journeys, and how their paths eventually led them to Talking Eyes Media.
