I look forward to sharing with you some of what I have done– and some of who I am. I think the content of this website will more fully explain the reasoning behind the subtitle “exploring life.”

Some highlights of my career include the following:

• • National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Emmy Nomination
  • Substantial administrative, producing and entrepreneurial experience
  • Critical acclaim by The New York Times and other media
  • Dozens of awards for nationally broadcast documentaries
  • Film documentary narrators include Ed Asner, Paul Sorvino, John Turturro and two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Edward Albee
  • New York Press Association First Place Award
  • Three books: history, biography and creative nonfiction
  • Inclusion in a college writing text also featuring  Annie Dillard, James Baldwin and Alice Walker
  • Official Selection in more than a dozen national and international screenwriting competitions–and one optioned screenplay
  • Political writing selected “best of the alternative press” annual volumes
  • Large national grants and fundraising success
  • Active speaker and media interviewee
  • Numerous awards for teaching, service and scholarship

There is more detail in the pages which follow.  Some things I have excluded because of time and space, such as short stories.  Some day I’ll include these as well.

If you have suggestions or I may be of help in any way, please let me know.

Best,
Lou Buttino
