Brenda Coughlin produced Laura Poitras’ 2016 exhibition Astro Noise at the Whitney Museum and Poitras’ last two features, Risk (2016) and Academy Award-winning CITIZENFOUR (2014), for which she served as distribution producer. She also produced the Academy Award-nominated Dirty Wars (2013), featuring Jeremy Scahill, and has been a consulting producer for Kirsten Johnson’s acclaimed Cameraperson (2016), Stephen Maing’s Sundance winner Crime + Punishment (2018) and Nancy Schwartzman’s Roll Red Roll (2018). She was on the producing team for The People Speak project, including the 2009 original U.S. special (executive producer Matt Damon) and the 2010 UK adaptation (co-directed by Colin Firth), both with primetime A&E broadcasts. With the late historian Howard Zinn, she co-founded the non-profit arts group Voices of a People’s History. She has been a fellow with the Sundance Women’s Initiative and a fellow and an advisor at the Sundance Institute Creative Producing Lab. She’s also worked with Doc Society, Bertha Foundation, Freedom of the Press Foundation, Compton Foundation, Sundance Institute, and the Filmmakers Fund. She is on the boards of Lannan Foundation and Grit TV, home of The Laura Flanders Show.

Since joining Praxis in 2014, Henrik has handled research, reporting and media collaborations with New York Times, ProPublica, Süddeutsche Zeitung and others. His research for Astro Noise and joint reporting with The Intercept, was referred to as ”the most serious leak in the history of Israeli intelligence”. 

The documentary short Project X – a collaboration between Poitras and Moltke – screened at Sundance. 

Their joint reporting won the 2014 Danish Investigative Journalism Award and a nomination for the 2014 Cavling Prize, the most prestigious award in Danish journalism.

Although her formal training was in sculpture and fictional filmmaking, documentary is the place Katy Scoggin calls home. After a Fulbright Fellowship in Berlin and a Graduate Assistantship in Cinematography at NYU, she worked for six years with Laura Poitras at Praxis Films, where she was a co-producer and cinematographer on CITIZENFOUR and an associate producer on The Oath. Currently, she is directing a documentary feature and shorts series about extraordinary people who are still working in their 80s and 90s. And she is developing Flood, a hybrid work of fiction, documentary, and public radio that explores deeply held beliefs that polarize people to the breaking point. At the core of the project is the filmmaker’s loving and maddening relationship to her creationist father. Flood has received support from the Sundance Institute, Film Independent, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and the MacDowell Colony.
