Jay Shapiro is an award winning filmmaker, writer, and podcaster. He currently lives in… You know what? I’m going to drop the third person thing. This is me. This is Jay. Hey.

My professional career started 20 years ago in documentary editing and direction and I still love doing that. Now, I do a lot of audio work in podcasts - producing them, recording them, writing them.

I was on my way to a degree in film when 9/11 hit. That event got a lot of questions going in my mind. It has been a deep dive into philosophy, psychology, and political analysis since then and I don’t plan on coming up for air any time soon.

I write a lot. I think I’m pretty good at it. I’m writing a book and gathering my thoughts on exactly what I want to say. Part of that process is writing essays that I put on this site.

Whatever brought you here, thank you.
