She's incredibly passionate about and committed to her work. She is tireless in her advocacy for adolescent mental health and has been a remarkable voice of change. As a pediatrician, a medical educator, and a parent to two young adult women, I can say that Vicki has a clear and accurate vision of the nature of the problem too many of our kids are facing in the educational gauntlet they are racing through. It's unconscionable what we are doing to our kids and it has to stop. Vicki's is a key voice in this fight and hopefully people will wake up to the message she is carrrying that I share whole heartedly. Her film-makiing skills, her passion, her intellect, and drive make her a unique voice and powerful change agent. " and "Vicki and I began collaborating on films about the education system about ten years ago, starting with Race to Nowhere, then Beyond Measure, and recently The Gatekeeper. Over our years of working together, I came to know Vicki to be a director with a thoughtful vision and the passion required to realize that vision—a rare combination. One of Vicki’s strongest skills, and one that is highly ranked in the documentary world, is the ability to build bridges and foster deep, trusting relationships with the people featured in her films. Forming and maintaining those trusting collaborative relationships over the duration of a production is the base upon which successful documentaries are built. Filmmaking is the definition of a team sport. The films we worked on together were complex, requiring great efforts realized by small, focused teams. One of Vicki’s other strengths is team building, working collaboratively with the film team and ensuring that everyone’s voice is heard and respected. Her leadership makes for an enjoyable and creative production experience, and in the end, great films."
