Maggie Burnette Stogner

My passion for storytelling never wanes. I am long-time documentary filmmaker, photographer, writer originally from Berkeley, California. I came to the D.C. area to work at National Geographic TV & Film for a short contract that turned into nearly ten years. In 2005, I launched my production company Blue Bear Films. (www.bluebearfilms.com). In 2018, I became the Executive Director of the Center For Environmental Filmmaking at American University, where I also teach environmental filmmaking.
