She earned a master’s degree in documentary filmmaking with highest honors from the University of Florida in 2005. Her film, 24/7, about the battle by people with development disabilities to get federal funds for at-home care, won the international Freddie Award in 2006 – the top prize in medical documentaries, among other awards.
She also is a freelance writer and editor, and leverages her 24 years of journalism experience – mostly covering technology and business in Silicon Valley – to coach executives how to successfully do media interviews and communications professionals to write and strategize.
Besides reporting for newspapers in several states, her experience includes co-producing a national science and technology news program for premier public television station WGBH in Boston, helping start the first newsletter, Technology & Media, that analyzed the advent of the convergence of technology, business and entertainment; creating IDG’s original news reporting for its coveted DEMO.com conference for nascent technologies; and helping lead the transform of Gannett’s Florida Today from a once-daily newspaper to a 24/7 online news service – teaching reporters and photographers how to shoot and edit new videos.
Her additional 20 years of communications experience is peppered with forays into technology companies leading worldwide communications teams at Apple, HP, and Palm as well as helping a variety of start-ups tell their stories.
Mary has received several other news reporting awards, including two fellowships. Her worldview is influenced, in part, by 11 years volunteering as a court-appointed child advocate for abused and abandoned children. Her newest interest in how the human brain works and affects personality was prompted by her husband’s traumatic brain injury in late 2009. http://www.maryacfallon.com http://www.247themovie.com
