Rob Feld, Filmmaker, Journalist

Rob Feld is an Adjunct Instructor of film writing and directing at New York University SCPS and founder of production company Gotham Arts. He partnered with HxA to create a New Student Orientation Guide that incorporates his documentary, Jesters and Fools, which features famous comedians and Duke University social scientist Chris Bail, PhD. The film uses comedy and social science to reveal that America is not as polarized as we believe and to present better ways of engaging with each other. His writings on film and filmmakers appear regularly in various film industry journals.
