'"We never solve problems by denying our disruptive power. We solve problems by embracing that."

Jay Shapiro is an award-winning filmmaker, writer, and podcaster. Director of Islam and the Future of Tolerance, a  documentary based on the provocative dialogue between Sam Harris and Maajid Nawaz, Shapiro consistently tackles complex themes in films such as Opposite Field, All Rise, and Metamorphosis. 

From his blog, What Jay Thinks, to his Dilemma podcast, which includes co-hosted episodes with public intellectuals like Coleman Hughes, Shapiro brings a philosophical edge to everything he creates. Shapiro uses film, conversation, and criticism to ask hard questions about identity, values, and collective future, making him a uniquely relevant voice in today's discourse.
