William C. Rogers
Writer, director, producer, editor and educator, William C. “Bill” Rogers is best known for dramatic documentary films such as his first film, a profile of his uncle, My Uncle Joe who was institutionalized before returning to the community which rejected him. A later follow-up for public television was Front Wards, Back Wards about America’s first institution for people labeled with intellectual disability.
Bill profiled ski maverick, Bode Miller, who struggles to become the preeminent figure in the sport in his film Flying Downhill. His editing of ACE Award winner Uncle Bill and Down River, about fishermen on the Amazon of Peru, joined projects like Livable Landscapes and Out of Balance (editor and director of photography) about landscape sprawl in Northern New England, and ExxonMobil’s “contribution” to climate change.
The common thread across his work is finding a way for complicated subjects to be entertaining to wide audiences. He has taught classes, workshops and lectures from kindergarten to college, and loves to bring real stories to life in the minds of his audience.
