Jeffrey Tuchman
Jeffrey Tuchman is an Emmy and Peabody award-winning documentary producer, director and writer who, for the past thirty years, has dedicated himself to the creation of innovative documentary film and television. In that time, he has built a formidable body of documentary work, with over 30 film titles to his name, and network credits including A&E, PBS, The History Channel, NHK, ABC, Discovery/TLC, Court TV, CBS, MSNBC and HBO. Among Tuchman's credits are the Peabody and EMMY Award-winning Voices of Civil Rights, an oral history of the Civil Rights movement; Mavericks, Miracles,and Medicine, an award-winning four-part series on the history of medicine, and The Man From Hope, the acclaimed Bill Clinton biography shown at the 1992 Democratic Convention, which was widely hailed as an historic piece of political filmmaking (and won Tuchman a Pollie Award).

Most recently, Tuchman completed Way Out, a documentary short about a gay, middle-aged father of two in rural Georgia who has lived his life in the closet and is struggling with the decision to come out to his family. As of 2012 Tuchman is working on a documentary series exploring the attempts of 14 struggling California communities to forever change the health, and through that, the future of their children.

He is also working on several documentary features, including The Good News Club, a film about the evangelical right's assault on American public education, Testimony, a film about Tuchman's father's return to Germany to testify in a war-crimes trial against the Nazi who murdered his mother, and Willful Defiance, an expose of the tragic effects of Zero Tolerance policies on a generation of public school kids.

In addition Tuchman has had a parallel career as a media consultant to non-profits, and political campaigns, which most recently included his role as Executive Producer for Hillary Clinton's 2008 Presidential bid. And finally, Tuchman has written and lectured extensively on documentary filmmaking, most notably during seven years on the faculty of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism where he taught documentary filmmaking. Tuchman divides his time between New York and Southern California.
