Nara Garber is a Brooklyn-based filmmaker who divides her time between
writing, directing, shooting and editing, often wearing many hats on
the same project. In 1998 she co-founded Topiary Productions - a
boutique film and video production company at the vanguard of the
"digital revolution," committed to strong storytelling and technical
innovation in all genres. In 2007, Nara shifted her focus to
non-fiction filmmaking, and her work as a freelance cinematographer and
field producer has taken her from Native villages in Alaska to rural
outposts in Ethiopia and military bases in Iraq. In 2011, Nara launched
Lucky Penny Pictures, a solo enterprise with an emphasis on social
issues documentaries. That year saw the premiere of Lucky Penny's first
co-production, the feature documentary, "Flat Daddy" (co-directed with
Betsy Nagler). Nara continues to direct and produce short-form
documentaries for Carnegie Hall and is currently in post-production on
her documentary about revitalization in a rust belt town, "Braddock
Spring."
