Chad A. Stevens is an Emmy-winning filmmaker, editor, journalist and
teacher. Before becoming a professor at the University of North
Carolina, he was a producer and editor at MediaStorm, where his work
focused on a range of topics from PTSD to the aftermath of genocide in
Rwanda. After beginning this project in 2006, the lion's share of
Stevens' work has centered on environmental visual communication. This
creative focus intersects with his scholarship in innovative projects
ranging in topic from hydraulic fracturing to the BP Gulf oil spill and
includes Powering a Nation, an interactive documentary series funded by
the Carnegie and Knight Foundations. These efforts have led to many
awards, most notably an Emmy in New Approaches in Documentary for his
collaboration in the Pulitzer-Prize-winning project, Caught in the
Crossfire. Other awards include a Special Merit Award from the Grantham
Prize, an Alfred I. DuPont - Columbia University Award silver baton and
a win at the SXSW Interactive Festival. Stevens' first short, Leveling
Appalachia, received the National Magazine Award for Digital Media and
has been used in university curricula across the country. Excerpts of
the project are featured in the eBook version of Al Gore's new release,
Our Choice, a sequel to An Inconvenient Truth.
