American Medical Association Foundation

Over three years, I wrote video scripts to support the American Medical Association Foundation Excellence in Medicine Awards. The awards celebrated physicians who had opened hospitals in far-flung places, served the poor en masse, rode beasts of burden to deliver healthcare in Haiti, healed orphans and in general achieved professional and humanitarian feats that would rightly cause most of us to feel completely unworthy in comparison. I received nomination packets that contained CVs, letters of recommendation and, if I was lucky, pictures. I shaped a narrative for each honoree, honoring their spirit and their lifetime of achievements, all in a couple of minutes.
