Stefani Sese is an award-winning documentary filmmaker. She began telling stories professionally in the late 70’s as a founder and member of the Latino Popular Theater Company Teatro Nuestro based in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood of Washington DC. While attending George Washington University, she shifted her focus from theater to television production. She has worked as both an editor and a producer for over 15 years. Her work spans the art, non-profit, and broadcast worlds. Her awards include a Travel Channel documentary about the National Parks along the Colorado River; a Discovery Channel production profiling youth who have survived hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes; and productions created for the Discovery Global Education Partnership. A fluent Spanish speaker, her last visit to Latin America was a seven month journey that culminated in her marriage to her travel partner and now life-companion, Maurice. A product of border crossing, Stefani is Filipina, Russian, German, English and Scottish. She feels most comfortable straddling the boundaries of race, culture, gender, and place. A native of Washington DC, she recently moved to Elizabeth City, North Carolina. She returns regularly to her old neighborhood of Mount Pleasant to teach digital storytelling workshops for youth and adults.
