SHARON SHATTUCK is an Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaker and podcast host. Her film PICTURE A SCIENTIST (2020), about women scientists fighting sexual harassment, was nominated for a 2022 News & Documentary EMMY and was distributed on NOVA (PBS) and Netflix. FROM THIS DAY FORWARD (2015), an autobiographical film about growing up with a transgender parent, was a New York Times Critic’s Pick and was distributed on POV (PBS), Netflix, SundanceNow, Amazon, and iTunes. She’s the cohost of the Spotify podcast CONVICTION: AMERICAN PANIC, about a family caught up in the satanic panic of the 1990s — the subject of the podcast was exonerated in 2023 in part due to their reporting. She was the series story producer on the EMMY-nominated Netflix Original Documentary series FOLLOW THIS and the co-creator of the EMMY-nominated New York Times Op Docs short film series ANIMATED LIFE.
