About the Executive Producer
Barbara Weber-Floyd is a graduate of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism with a decades-long career.
This has included: business reporter for local newspapers and national magazines; field producer at CBS News in New York; producer for the national PBS business program, Adam Smith’s Money World; outreach associate and website writer for the PBS documentary, The Mystery of Love; researcher/editor for many non-fiction authors, such as Dr. Robin Stern (Project Rebirth) and Michael Takiff (A Complicated Man), as well as several novelists.
She is also a published author. In 2019, she published The Resistance and Me: An Insider’s Account of the Two-Year Mission to Stop the Trump Agenda and Take Back the House, which chronicles the rise of the anti-Trump movement in her congressional district. As a member of East End Action Network, an Indivisible grassroots group founded in 2017, as well as the Southampton Town Democratic Committee, she was on the front lines of this movement. Through memorializing her own journey as well as interviews with over 100 sources, the result is a deeply researched case study of these two years in our nation’s history, as told by the women of the movement and seen through the lens of one congressional district.
Last year, she published Jack Weber Here!, her father’s memoir. A three-year project, as editor, she helped to create an incredibly moving memoir. This year, she is extending the research for the memoir by producing a documentary short entitled “Lessons From 100”, directed by her son, filmmaker Matthew Floyd. An intimate conversation between grandson and grandfather, about what it is to have a meaningful life, the story is told through interviews, still photographs, home movies and new footage.
