Finding Voice Through a Camera

In this episode, I talk with Jay Silverman, an award-winning filmmaker known for his emotionally resonant work. Jay discusses his journey into feature filmmaking, which began with "Girl on the Edge," a deeply personal film inspired by his daughter's recovery through equine therapy. His latest film, "Camera," is another heartfelt project influenced by his experiences as a father of a daughter with impaired speech. Jay shares how his work has become a vehicle for expressing the lessons and wisdom he's gained from these personal experiences, driven by a passion to touch others through his storytelling.

For over 40 years, Jay Silverman has excelled as a leading Director, Producer, and Photographer specializing in award-winning films, television, digital, and print campaigns.
