BEN ZOLNO
PRODUCER / AUDIO VISUAL ADVISOR

The purpose of Zolno’s work is to encourage people to grapple with vital questions. Through the mentorship of Al Maysles and Barbara Trent in New York, he has helped make documentaries that did just that, and came to Hollywood to seek larger audiences in narrative cinema.

He finds OUTSPOKEN to be a very important film, which asks the vital question: In the face of so much opposition, what makes an anti-Iraq war protestor feel the need to speak out? OUTSPOKEN is a look into the inherent struggle of activist leaders that will fascinate both the “left” and the “right”.
