[This was published in the March 2020 issue, which due to the pandemic only just came out.]

Nice to get some good news out of Italy! My portrait of Andy Moravcsik, Director of the European Union Program at the Woodrow Wilson School, was recently published in the March 2020 issue of GQ (Italia). I took this picture of Andy for my current portrait series, Taking Pause. If you read Italian, it is an interesting article that talks a little about his family and wonderful marriage to Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO of the New America foundation.

Amidst the darkness and uncertainty, I have been grateful for the opportunities to find ways to deepen my connections with family and friends across distance – often through long, winding conversations about a film, or a book that we all finally finished. And so, I wanted to carve out this space devoted to sharing critical and creative writing as another avenue for us all to continue staying connected.
Shout out to Ava Geyer '15 for the idea for the name:)

Check out Feature Film "Working Man" Available on VOD!

/

Produced by Lovell Holder '09 and Clark Peterson S*91, film festival award-winner "Working Man" premiered on VOD this past May 5. Starring Peter Gerety (The Wire), Billy Brown (How to Get Away with Murder), and two-time Oscar nominee Talia Shire (Rocky, The Godfather), "Working Man" is a classic American story for our contemporary world. When a factory closure threatens a small Rust Belt town, one older factory worker continues going to his former job every day, despite the shutdown. His peculiar decision has a profound effect on the whole community, and his actions lead him to become what he never thought possible: a leader. Praised by the Hollywood Reporter as "a potent tribute to out-of-work Americans," the film's themes regarding unemployment and mental health have never been more timely.
