Alumnus documentary featured in NY Times

Joshua Weinstein ('05) directed and shot a short documentary titled "Lullaby", which appeared on the front page of last Friday’s New York Times Op-Docs. Op-Docs is an award-winning section that features emerging and renowned filmmakers who show an aptitude for creating short, opinionated documentaries covering current affairs, contemporary life and historical subjects.

"Lullaby" tells the story of young mothers living in the Siena House homeless shelter who face a difficult set of obstacles, such as having little or no family support and attempting parenthood alone.

"I am honored to help them share their stories and love for their babies in their own words, through the universal theme of the lullaby." - Joshua Weinstein

Weinstein worked with two other BU alumni, Kyle Graffam (Editor) and Lucien Flores (Assistant Editor), on this short documentary.
