2012 – Kirby Dick

Kirby Dick is a two-time Emmy award-winning and Academy award-nominated filmmaker behind some of the most groundbreaking documentaries today. Many of his films have directly impacted American politics and culture, resulting in real-world change. Dick’s latest project, NOT SO PRETTY (2022), is a four-part investigation-driven exploration of the lurking dangers in the commodities we all use every day without question for makeup, skin-care, nails, and hair. His previous series, ALLEN v. FARROW (2021), is a seven-time Emmy nominated series that goes beyond the headlines of Hollywood’s most notorious scandal: the accusation of sexual abuse against Woody Allen involving his then seven-year-old daughter with Mia Farrow. 

ON THE RECORD (2020), was a searing look at the intersection of issues relating to the Black Lives Matter and #MeToo movements. THE INVISIBLE WAR (2012) exposed the epidemic of rape in the US military leading dozens of policy reforms signed into law. THE HUNTING GROUND (2015) created a national discussion of sexual assault on college campuses and sparked sweeping reforms at hundreds of institutions. THE BLEEDING EDGE (2018) unearthed the fast-growing medical device industry’s corruption and malfeasance, resulted in Bayer and Johnson & Johnson pulling dangerous products off the market. Dick became one of the first filmmakers to partner with Vanity Fair for a groundbreaking multimedia project on sexual harassment during the Old Hollywood studio system in the March 2022 issue. Past films of Dick’s include TWIST OF FAITH, THIS FILM IS NOT YET RATED, SICK and OUTRAGE.
