Testimonials

"I've had the pleasure to work with Carol Dana on a wide variety of projects, and I'm always amazed at her ability to write and produce on so many topics – history, nature, arts, human interest; long form, short form. She covers it all with an attention to detail and a respect for her subjects that shows how much she cares to deliver a high-quality product. What Carol shoots in the field, how she pulls together her scripts, the organization of post-production and her dedication to accuracy make her one of the most gifted producers to come through my edit suite."
— Steve Smith, senior editor, Maryland Public Television

"‘Schooner Schooling’ was wonderful. Some of the people who have been with us from the beginning actually had tears in their eyes! I can't tell you how much we appreciate the time and effort you put into the piece – it definitely showed."
— Drew McMullen, president, Sultana Projects

"I wanted to compliment you on the outstanding job you did on documenting the history of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC). The historical footage documenting the ferment of the 60s, the national resolve to bring about change, and the generational interest in addressing the great social and economic issues of the day were clearly and poignantly outlined. I know everyone involved in the creation and implementation of the program will be grateful to you and your colleagues for this sensitively produced and beautifully presented history."
— Dr. David Paige, professor, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
