FEATURED CREDITS
The Third Pole
Director—Executive Producer
The Third Pole—The Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau — is the world’s largest store of water outside the Arctic and Antarctic, but these glaciers are melting faster than anywhere else on Earth—threatening 2.5 billion people who live downstream, and unleashing a global climate catastrophe. As the Third Pole transforms, the world must pay attention. What’s happening here affects us all.
Shot across five countries and a full year of seasonal change, this revealing series portrays the breathtaking beauty—and looming danger—of the Third Pole. Our goal is to celebrate these rich cultures and breathtaking landscapes while confronting the crisis and exploring the steps we must take to protect it.

The Reverend
Co-Producer
When singing “Get Out of My Way,” the Rev. Vince Anderson takes no time getting to a growl and a wail. Anderson, the subject of the oft-rousing documentary “The Reverend,” and his band, the Love Choir, have had a 20-year residency at Union Pool, a bar in Williamsburg. And that brassy, organ-banging, sax-honking representative of what Anderson dubs “dirty gospel’’ has been the invocation to Monday evening gatherings. - New York Times
