In the 1990s, she formed the nonprofit organization May Day media alongside Vanessa Vadim, which focused on creating and distributing films which tackled social issues.

In 1998 she then founded Moxie Firecracker Films alongside Liz Garbuz, since partnered with television networks such as HBO, Lifetime, Discovery Channel, and TLC. The following year she directed “American Hollow”, which received critical acclaim, and HBO would broadcast the film and she would then release a companion book. She then co-produced the series “Pandemic: Facing AIDS” which earned an Emmy Award nomination followed in 2003 by “A Boy’s Life” which earned a lot of positive reviews at the 2003 Tribeca Film Festival, and won the Best Documentary prize at the Woodstock Film Festival.

Rory Elizabeth Katherine Kennedy Quotes

• When I graduated from Brown after majoring in women’s studies, I made my first PBS documentary, Women of Substance. My first feature documentary was called American Hollow (1999), which I did for HBO and was at the Sundance Film Festival.
• There’s a great op-ed piece by Kurt Johnson, who runs The List Project, that I recommend everyone read. He was talking about how he’s been trying to get out of Iraq who were our allies, who are now subject to torture, and their families are being killed because of their alliance to the United States.
• With Makers: Women in Hollywood (2014), I didn’t direct it, but I produced it, and what we did is followed the money of Hollywood and how that intersects with issues relating to women and, frankly, sexism.
• I’ve been doing documentaries for about 25 years and want to continue to do that, but I love the idea of working in a different medium. Advertising pushes the envelope creatively, and there is some really great work being done right now, so I’m excited to jump into it.
• I am now using media as a tool to bring attention to marginalized people.
• I think there is a lot to be said for the respect that our parents had for children, and for my brothers and sisters and me at a very young age, and for exposing them to the world and what’s out there.
• The thing is that my father’s story helps to communicate what was at stake with my mother, and my mother and father had so much a partnership that his story is integral to her story, as her story is to his – really, her story can’t be told without his story.
• I had long been resistant to doing a documentary about my mother for personal reasons. And I thought there was no way she’d want to, but then I asked her and she said ‘yes.’
• I’m all for having an empowered first lady who can really use that position to improve conditions, be a role model and make change.
• I think it can be really powerful, and one of the reasons I love making films is I do feel they can reach beyond the statistics and the numbers and the complexities of a particular issue and really highlight the humanity in a way that an article or newspaper story might not be able to do.
• I’m not sure I would make a direct connection between having press attention as a young person and being interested in the media as an older person. I came to it more organically, coming from a family of Irish Catholic storytellers. Storytelling is a pastime and important part of my family’s history and culture.
• You need to think, when you get involved in wars, how you’re going to get out of them.
• I’ve always been interested in Vietnam, feel it’s a seminal event in our nation’s history, and have explored it over the years – but I hadn’t been interested in doing a documentary about it. I felt there had been a lot done about Vietnam, and didn’t know if I could add anything new to the discussion.
• I was attracted to filmmaking in college because of my love of storytelling. You can have such an impact and reach a broader audience than conventional journalism.
