Director Biography - Mark Solomon

I am a clinical neuropsychologist and an innovator of a conversational technique known as Street Epistemology (SE). This technique, which is basically the Socratic method, is designed to help people better reflect on the reasons for their deeply-held beliefs. The projects I create are very timely and use SE to both capture the nature of how entrenched beliefs risk damaging our way of life and hopefully offer tangible solutions.

Director Statement

One of the most challenging obstacles of our time is that we live in separate belief silos. I wish to make films that help people better reflect on any deeply-held belief they might hold.
