From Law to the Lens: Salvador Litvak on Storytelling and Saving Lincoln - Part 2

Bill Bernardoni is joined by filmmaker, author, and cultural voice Salvador Litvak for a wide-ranging conversation about creativity, risk, and the unexpected paths that lead to meaningful work. Litvak shares how he pivoted from Harvard and NYU Law to filmmaking, what drew him to Abraham Lincoln’s story, and how he pioneered the CineCollage visual style to bring Saving Lincoln to life using historic Civil War photography. A thoughtful look at art, history, perseverance, and refusing to accept “impossible” as an answer.
