Founder: Margaret Galbraith

 

I have been pursuing and cultivating my passions for the arts and social justice since childhood. In 1997, I was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to study the Argentine women’s movement and spent a year in Buenos Aires. I then spent several years in community development in Oakland, California, assisting immigrants from various regions including Latin America, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. In 2002, I worked as a photographer in Barcelona, Spain for noted artist Antonio Muntadas, and my photos were shown at the Contemporary Art Museum in Barcelona.

​

In 2003, I turned my attention to documentary filmmaking. I earned a Masters in Art for Social Change, with a focus on documentary, at the Gallatin School of Individualized Study at NYU, and followed that with a Graduate Documentary Certificate from the New School, where I completed my first two films: Krumbs and Salsa Salon. I founded SeeScape Films in 2008 and began work on the feature-length documentary Stickman. Stickman won multiple awards and is currently being shown on local PBS television stations across the country and streaming on Amazon.

​

After settling on Long Island, NY to raise my two children, I wedded my political and social activism with my film-making career and have been producing promotional videos and leading workshops for non-profits and government institutions in my local community. SeeScape Films has become a platform for this work.
