The Meerkat Media Collective
The Meerkat Media Arts Collective is comprised of filmmakers, musicians, illustrators, writers and artists of all stripes who believe in collaboration and cooperation.
We take our name from the communal, prairie-dog-like mammal of the African grasslands, and strive to share skills and ideas across the board. The idea is to make a kind of consensus art that inspires, encourages, and motivates others to tell their own stories.
Meerkat Media has produced dozens of short films featured in various festivals across the country, and recently finished a feature-length documentary Stages, which was featured at the 2007 IFP Market in New York.
Some of the many Meerkats that worked on Every Third Bite include: Wendy Cohen, who co-founded Screening Liberally, worked as the Community Manager of Huffington Post and now works at Participant Media in Los Angeles; Erin Espelie, a freelance writer and producer based in NYC, currently serves as executive editor and a columnist for Natural History Magazine; Annie Novak, a Chicago native, is the Children’s Gardening Program coordinator for the New York Botanical Gardens (Bronx) and works with farmers at the New York City Greenmarkets; Eric Phillips-Horst is an award-winning cinematographer whose work has been featured on MTV, French-German public television, and in numerous festivals in NY and across the country; Jay Sterrenberg is a longtime meerkat, educator and filmmaker who has edited documentaries for ESPN and HBO; Gina Telaroli is a blogger, filmmaker and cinephile living in Brooklyn, NY who writes for the TakePart blog while running a weekly screening series and a free school called Project Film School.
