Rachel Ward
As a teenager, Rachel’s flair for dramatic expression led to the misguided diagnosis that she was “prone to histrionics.” Fortunately, she understood that being curious and passionate was not something she needed to overcome. A California native, Rachel earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts, where she later became an adjunct faculty member. She has been a producer on six feature films, such as Space Station 76, Super Dark Times, and Beats, Rhymes and Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest, which won the Producer’s Guild Award for Best Documentary in 2012. She is currently an MFA candidate at Columbia University, where she indulges her love of storytelling and remains haunted by the ineffable.
