Producer

Dana has produced nonprofit & corporate videos, PSAs, short films, and staged readings.

Before her long slog with Lyme disease, Babesia, and various autoimmune disorders, Dana once produced a few videos and events.

Nonprofit Videos:

Boys & Girls Club of Greater Concord - Seven-minute videos: An Annual Tradition

In 2010 Dana was asked to produce a seven-minute video for the first Champion of Kids Breakfast, which introduced the Club to the greater Concord community. Dana produced and directed several more videos for the club through 2015, and had a wonderful time working with the incredible people who were featured in each of the mini documentaries.

This show was brought to New Hampshire by Jayme's Fund for Social Justice and through the help of generous sponsors. Dana produced and directed the staged reading, which featured a brilliant cast of professional actors, writers, singers, and political activists.
