Amy Berman Featured in 'Ask Me a Question' Project for MADE VISIBLE Foundation

Amy Berman was recently featured in the "Ask Me a Question" video project created by Annie Levy, creative director of the MADE VISIBLE Foundation. Each video featured in the project is designed to be an interactive teaching tool to allow students and physicians to learn firsthand about the patient’s experience of illness through the patient’s own words and images. The project was made possible through funding from the Arnold P. Gold Foundation.

"I started my career as a writer/photographer and my work has always focused on the power of portraits. In establishing the Made Visible Foundation, the work has expanded to bring portraits to life, as it were, in different ways – through myriad projects, exhibits and live events. A signature quality of our work is to not only find the best way to tell a particular story – be that through word, image, video, or live event – but to also build a bridge to an audience to create a connection that might otherwise not exist," said Levy in an interview.

Among the videos included in the project are those of:

Amy: Mother, artist, and adventurer diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer
Daniel: Drummer, Mets fan, and video game enthusiast diagnosed at age 4 with ALL Leukemia
Matthew: Musician, husband, father, and activist diagnosed 19 years ago with terminal brain cancer
Peter: Runner, golfer, husband, and father diagnosed at age 20 with osteosarcoma
Anna: Music photographer diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at age 23
