An alumna of Visual and Environmental Studies at Harvard, and now a graduate student in Comparative Media Studies at MIT, Vanessa Bertozzi has made black and white shorts, a collaborative documentary on taxidermy, a fiction short, and an experimental thesis film. While studying film, photography, and the history of landscape at Harvard, Vanessa also worked part-time as a sound studio technician and at the Harvard Film Archive. Summers during college she interned at Magnum Photos, worked at the Mongan Center at the Fogg Museum, and lived in Rome on a Radcliffe Travel Fellowship. Since graduating from Harvard College in 2001, she has worked in documentary — with Deb Wasser (producer for HBO), Martha Wollner (formerly of Maysles Films), and Eyepop Productions.
