}}Amy Ziering (born 1962) is an American film producer and director. In 2013, she received an Academy Award nomination for Best Documentary Feature for producing The Invisible War.[2]

Early life

Amy Ziering was born in 1962. She is the daughter of Sigi Ziering, a Holocaust survivor and Marilyn Ziering.[3][4] She grew up in Beverly Hills, California.[3][4] She graduated from Amherst College before pursuing graduate work at Yale University, where she studied with Jacques Derrida.[5][6]

Career

Early career

Her first film, Taylor's Campaign (1998), directed by Richard Cohen, followed Ron Taylor, a homeless resident of Santa Monica, as he campaigned to win a seat on the Santa Monica city council. Martin Sheen narrated the film.

Ziering then began work on Derrida (2002), a documentary about her former mentor, the French philosopher Jacques Derrida. She partnered with Kirby Dick, with whom she co-directed Derrida.[7] The film explores Derrida's life and work while questioning the limitations of biography. It won the Golden Gate Award at the 2002 San Francisco International Film Festival.

She next produced a feature narrative, The Memory Thief (2007), directed by Gil Kofman. The film chronicles the experiences of a young man who becomes involved in documenting the experiences of survivors of the Holocaust as his commitment turns into obsession and madness. Ziering again collaborated with Kirby Dick on Outrage (2009), a documentary that examined the lives of closeted gay politicians who legislate against gay rights, as well as the mainstream media's reluctance to report on this subject. The film received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Investigative Journalism.

The Invisible War

In 2012, she premiered The Invisible War at the Sundance Film Festival where it received the Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature. The film examines the epidemic of rape in the United States Armed Forces, and has been heralded for exposing a culture of sexual abuse at Marine Barracks Washington.[8] Several government officials have commented on the film's influence on policy, including Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, who has stated that viewing the film convinced him to implement a wave of reforms designed to reduce the prevalence of military sexual assault.[9]

The film's revelations have also been discussed in congressional hearings and spurred lawmakers to seek better safeguards for assault survivors.[10] Senator Kirsten Gillibrand credits the film with inspiring her to introduce the Military Justice Improvement Act, which would establish an independent judiciary to oversee accusations of sexual assault in the armed forces.[11]

Among other honors, The Invisible War received a nomination for Best Documentary Feature at the 85th Academy Awards and won Emmy Awards for Best Documentary Feature and Outstanding Investigative Journalism.[14][15]

The Hunting Ground

In 2015, The Hunting Ground premiered at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. Produced by Ziering, and written and directed by Kirby Dick, the film is a documentary about the incidence of sexual assault on college campuses in the United States and the failed response of college administrators. The film was released on February 27, 2015,[12] an edited version aired on CNN on November 22, 2015,[13][14] and was released on DVD the week of December 1, 2015.[15] It was released on Netflix in March 2016.[16] Lady Gaga recorded an original song, "Til It Happens to You," for the film.[17]

One day before the theatrical release of the film, a bipartisan group of twelve U.S. Senators, accompanied by the film's lead subjects, Annie Clark and Andrea Pino, reintroduced the Campus Accountability and Safety Act requiring universities to adopt standard practices for weighing sexual charges, and to survey students on the prevalence of assault.

The Hunting Ground was nominated for a 2016 Emmy Award for "Exceptional Merit in Documentary Filmmaking" and for the "Outstanding Producer of Documentary Theatrical Motion Picture" award by the Producers Guild of America.[18] In December 2016, the film won the 2016 Stanley Kramer Award given to "a production, producer or other individual whose achievement or contribution illuminates and raises public awareness of important social issues.[19]The Hunting Ground was also one of the five movies nominated in the Documentary category of 2016 MTV Movie Awards.[20]

The Bleeding Edge

The Bleeding Edge premiered at the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival to rave reviews and received further critical acclaim after its worldwide release on Netflix on July 27, 2018.{{citation needed|date=October 2018}} Currently at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes[21] and named the New York Times' Critic's Pick of the Week,[22] the documentary, written and directed by Kirby Dick and produced by Ziering and Amy Herdy, is a deep dive exploration on the $400 billion medical device industry[23] where the filmmakers find shockingly lax regulations, corporate cover-ups and profit-driven incentives that put patients at risk daily.[24]

The impact of the film was felt immediately as a week before its release, The Bleeding Edge became a part of a national news story when Bayer removed the birth control device Essure from the U.S. market, one of the many devices heavily criticized and warned about in the doc.[25] Entertainment Weekly promptly added it on their list of documentaries that have changed the world.[26]

Upcoming Hollywood documentary

On October 23, 2017, Dick and Ziering announced an upcoming film on equity, parity, abuse, and representation in Hollywood.[27] They had begun working on this project while screening The Invisible War.[28] In a statement to media, Ziering said:

"Every time we screened that film in Hollywood, actors and executives would come up to us and say that they had had similar experiences right here. So, we began working on this project and immediately found ourselves grappling with the same forces that had kept this story silenced for so long. Everyone was frightened about what would happen to their careers, and worried about whether they would be sued. Distributors were unwilling to fund or release the film, and few people were willing to talk on the record."[29]

Once the Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse allegations went public, funding appeared through Impact Partners, which also financed "The Hunting Ground" and "The Invisible War."[28] Ziering noted, "People at long last are speaking out in large numbers, and we feel this industry, and the country, is finally ready for an unflinching film about the reality of sexual assault and harassment in Hollywood."[29]

The film currently has no title or release date.[30]

Personal life

Ziering has three daughters and resides in Brentwood.[31]
