Hailed by the Boston Globe as a filmmaker whose work is “intimate, dramatic and empathetic,” Alice Stone is an award-winning documentary director and editor known for exploring compelling human stories.
Her feature “Angelo Unwritten” won a Special Jury Commendation at the Newburyport Documentary Festival. It follows three pivotal years in the life of a troubled yet gifted youth and his foster parents. Stone brings a unique, asset-focused view of disability to her projects. This viewpoint is central to her latest film, “Make A Joyful Noise,” which celebrates the hidden gifts that disability can bestow.
Her previous feature, the ITVS-funded “She Lives to Ride,” was nominated for an International Documentary Association Distinguished Achievement Award. “Ride” showcases five women motorcyclists who slash stereotypes as they burn rubber. It was released theatrically by Artistic License and broadcast on PBS and throughout Europe.
She is co-producing the documentary feature “Hitler’s Enemy Within,” about a high-ranking Nazi who saved hundreds of Jews. Her editing credits include films by Errol Morris and episodes of PBS’s NOVA. She began her career as an assistant editor, working on three films by Jonathan Demme, including “The Silence of the Lambs.”
