Autorenporträt

Stephen Vittoria is an award-winning filmmaker and author. His last two feature documentaries - Mumia: Long Distance Revolutionary and One Bright Shining Moment: The Forgotten Summer of George McGovern - have been embraced by moviegoers and audiences worldwide. Vittoria was also a producer on two feature documentaries by Academy Award winner Alex Gibney - Gonzo: The Life & Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson and Magic Trip: Ken Kesey's Search for a Kool Place. Vittoria, along with journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal, co-authored the three-book nonfiction series Murder Incorporated: Empire, Genocide, and Manifest Destiny with forewords by Angela Davis and Chris Hedges. Vittoria also contributed to an anthology (along with Norman Mailer and Frank Deford) entitled In Times Like These: How We Pray. SPECIAL NOTE: Regarding Vittoria as a storyteller, legendary filmmaker, Albert Maysles, publicly petitioned his colleagues in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences to consider Vittoria's documentary feature, Mumia: Long Distance Revolutionary, for Oscar consideration: "I've sat through many documentaries in my life and Vittoria's is one of the finest. I was riveted by the film and storytelling. It was as if Mumia was in the room speaking directly to us."
