I am fully committed to giving my stories a visual life of their own...
I’
m Bettina Moss, creator of this documentary project. I am a child of New York although I now live in Los Angeles. I have worked in the development end of the film business, in academia and as a novelist.
I believe the sharing of art is most powerful when in the service of community. By portraying these intimate stories it’s possible to convey the breadth of our cultural experience of 9/11. Hopefully viewers can form a deeper connection and understanding of the event.
BIO
In addition to filmmaking, I’m also a screenwriter and novelist.
Previously I created the MFA in Professional Screenwriting Program at National University in California. During that time I was fortunate to receive a COIL Fellowship for International Online learning under the auspices of SUNY and the NEH.
I also was awarded a Fulbright Senior Specialist candidacy with a specialty in cross-cultural storytelling, which originated during the COIL Fellowship.
Prior to academia, I was the managing story editor at HBO Films, chairwoman of The Scriptwriters Network and contributor to The Biology of Story.
The underlying research for this documentary project, ‘Finding Daylight’ has been accepted into the permanent collection of the 9/11 Memorial and Museum of lower Manhattan.
