Testimonials
Kate Levy is able to humanize a very complex and painful issue to the broader community. She does it with heart and a unique lens.
We LOVE this video, and our partners were similarly over the moon about it. One of the staff told me it brought tears to her eyes.
Kate Levy’s work exceeded our expectations in all respects. She’s a pleasure to work with, but more importantly works hard to find the core of the subject she is documenting, spending countless hours to uncover the story beneath the surface.
I worked with Kate and a team from Senior Housing Preservation – Detroit on a video designed to establish an awareness and a call to action on behalf of low income elderly living in Midtown and Downtown Detroit. From a creative standpoint, I worked with Kate from concept through interviews and editing. She certainly has an excellent eye, but she also complements the editorial process with insight and well-placed comments/questions. The finished product has been well-received and has been shown many times in the course of our advocacy work at Authority Health.
Kate is always involved in the most interesting stories and usually has been for months before you ever heard about them. She is an experienced and talented documentary filmmaker. She’s one of the few people who aren’t afraid to show where they stand on an issue and her work is better because of it.
