Talking Eyes Media (TEM) is an award-winning, nonprofit production company. We are civically-minded media makers with the imagination, passion & expertise to transform ideas into impactful media.
TEM has been at the forefront of multimedia storytelling since writer/filmmaker Julie Winokur and photojournalist Ed Kashi founded the company in 2002. Whether it's a full length documentary film, short video, photo essay, book, website or exhibition, we approach storytelling with integrity, sensitivity and a collaborative spirit. The best part: our stories make a difference. Social entrepreneurs, policy makers, private and public organizations use our materials to put a human face on complex social issues and broaden public discourse.
National media outlets including Time, National Geographic, The New York Times Magazine, MSNBC.com, and PBS publish our work. Our films and photos appear in festivals and exhibits around the world. We have received two Emmy nominations and won awards from the Society of Professional Journalists, the National Press Club, World Press International, UNICEF, and Pictures of the Year International.
