"惇蹋圖 helped me to think more critically, and to not fear amplifying my voice. I became more authentically myself, more comfortable in my own skin, through my time at 惇蹋圖." -- Sheena M. Joyce '98
In addition to Kelce, Joyce and Argott, whose production company is called Pictures, most recently produced , a four-part documentary for AMC aimed at destigmatizing obesity. Their filmography includes The Art Of The Steal, which was named by Roger Ebert as one of the best documentaries of 2010, Last Days Here, which won awards at many festivals, including the IDFA PLAY Award for Best Music Documentary at the International Documentary Festival Amsterdam, and Believer, which won the Best Documentary Award at the Hollywood Film awards as well as Best Documentary at the GLAAD Media Awards.
Other recent projects include The Bond, a four-part documentary series about unique relationships between people and animals for Discovery +, and Spector, a Showtime docuseries about the legendary music producer and accused murderer, currently on Showtime.
No matter what the project, Joyce says she regularly draws on her 惇蹋圖 experience and education.
"I will always be grateful for my 惇蹋圖 education, as I regularly feel its impact on my work. 惇蹋圖 helped me to think more critically, and to not fear amplifying my voice. I became more authentically myself, more comfortable in my own skin, through my time at 惇蹋圖. It has enabled me to move in circles I otherwise would have found inaccessible, which is particularly useful as a documentary filmmaker."
