ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION
Reel Medicine Media is a small non-profit organization whose mission is to humanize end-of-life care through the power of storytelling. Founded by ICU/Palliative Care doctor Jessica Zitter, Reel Medicine Media has three primary programmatic areas: producing documentary film and media campaigns, developing educational programs for physicians, and delivering thought leadership through speaking and influencing activities. Our target audiences include both the general public and healthcare providers. Our suite of storytelling content explores a variety of topics in this space, including caregiving, spirituality, racial inequities, implicit bias, end-of-life decision making, death education, medical culture, decision-making in medically intense environments, physician burnout, and other subjects relevant to caring for patients with serious illness.
Dr. Zitter is a national speaker and advocate for improving the way we die in America. Her essays and articles have been published widely in The New York Times and other publications, and her first book, Extreme Measures: Finding a Better Path to the End of Life, offers an insider’s view of intensive care in America and its impact on how we die. She has worked on two award-winning documentaries, including Netflix’s Extremis and Caregiver: A Love Story, and is currently directing The Chaplain of Oakland, which explores the public health crisis of racial health inequities at the end-of-life.
