Our Story

Founded by Dr. Jessica Zitter, Reel Medicine Media uses documentary film and storytelling to inspire healthcare providers to connect to their sacred work with purpose, community, and compassion for the benefit of all. We envision a workforce inspired not just to treat but to heal.

Our team brings decades of experience in healthcare, media production, and impact producing, and is uniquely positioned to mobilize audiences. Through powerful vérité documentaries, grassroots impact campaigns, and media-rich educational programs that serve healthcare professionals at all levels, we work toward sustained change that will be felt in hospital rooms, medical classrooms, and around dining room tables across the United States.
