Arlene Schulman is a writer, photographer, podcast creator and documentary filmmaker. Ms. Schulman’s extraordinary body of work illuminates facets of New York City that the majority of us never see: gritty city living, boxing gyms, baseball dugouts, police officers on the beat, Holocaust survivors, an early interview with Broadway star Lin-Manuel Miranda, a look at a guidance counselor by day/drag queen at night, and her haunting film, On Some Strange Mornings, about a Dominican immigrant living with Alzheimer’s caring for his mother with dementia. Ms. Schulman holds a graduate degree in journalism with a focus on documentary filmmaking from Columbia’s Journalism School and an undergraduate degree in English Literature from the CUNY Baccalaureate for Unique and Interdisciplinary Studies (CUNY BA) program.
