About the Director
Marlo Poras began her film career as an apprentice to Thelma
Schoonmaker at Martin Scorsese’s Cappa Productions and worked in the
editing room on independent films such as Greg Mottola’s DAYTRIPPERS
and Alison Anders’ GRACE OF MY HEART. Later, she was living in
Vietnam, producing teen oriented HIV/AIDS education films for The
Population Council & UNICEF when she was inspired to make MAI’S
AMERICA, her first film.
MAI’S AMERICA screened at dozens of festivals worldwide and won
numerous awards, including the Audience Award for Feature Documentary
at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Festival. The film was later
awarded Best Feature Documentary from the International Documentary
Association (IDA) and aired on P.O.V., PBS’ award winning non-fiction
showcase.
Marlo also works as a camerawoman on documentaries such as COUNTRY
BOYS, David Sutherland’s critically acclaimed PBS/Frontline series,
and on Jocelyn Glatzer’s Emmy Award nominated P.O.V. documentary, THE
FLUTE PLAYER, which she edited as well. Marlo is the recipient of a
Guggenheim Fellowship.
About the Executive producer
David Sutherland’s numerous documentaries have garnered dozens of
international awards. His two PBS/Fronline series, THE FARMER’S WIFE
and COUNTRY BOYS, received accolades from critics and viewers alike.

had 18 million PBS viewers who responded with more than a million
website hits and to date, over 30,000 emails. The Television Critics
Association nominated THE FARMER’S WIFE for awards in three
categories: Best Program of the Year, Best Miniseries & Specials, and
Best News & Information Program.
David’s other films include: OUT OF SIGHT, HIGH ENERGY, HALFTIME,
PAUL CADMUS: Enfant Terrible at 80, JACK LEVINE: Feast of Pure
Reason, GEORGE WASHINGTON: The Man Who Wouldn’t Be King, and FEAST OF THE GODS.
