Lois Vossen is executive producer at Independent Lens, PBS in San Francisco. 

This clip is a highlight of our upcoming 2-part interview with Vossen, who shares how she grew up in a farm in Minnesota and never dreamt that one day she would be living in San Francisco and working with filmmakers. Imagine her utter surprise and delight when she heard Walter Cronkite say,  “And the Peabody goes to Lois Vossen.”

Vossen’s interview is part of our new season, a 10-part series on Women in Arts, Science and Technology from Silicon Valley.

The new series starts airing on TV in the next few weeks. Check back for details.
