Every Google Meet and Zoom call. Every FaceTime and every voice note. That’s Dr. Marian Rogers Croak’s legacy. We made a short film about her. Now it’s shortlisted for a People’s Telly Award and we need the community to show up. Dr. Croak is one of the first two Black women inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame and the woman behind technology billions of people use every single day. She helped weave the fabric of the internet as we know it. Her story deserved to be told right, and the next generation deserves to know her name. We are grateful to the Google team for trusting us with it. Telling her story was a privilege. Having it recognized is something else entirely. Now we need you to push us across the finish line. Voting is open now through April 17th. Link in bio. Every vote makes a difference. #TheTellyAwards #PeoplesTelly #TheArtOfPossible #MarianCroak

The Art of Possible’ is a documentary celebrating the legacy and ongoing work of Dr. Marian Rogers Croak; a pioneer whose journey was shaped by the family, mentors, colleagues, and collaborators who fueled her curiosity and drive to innovate. I had the wonderful pleasure of DP’ing this project over 4+ months. It was fun, challenging, educational and just what I needed. I grew in knowledge, in my approach and execution. Many good days that I will cherish.

‘The Art of Possible’ is a documentary celebrating the legacy and ongoing work of Dr. Marian Rogers Croak; a pioneer whose journey was shaped by the family, mentors, colleagues, and collaborators who fueled her curiosity and drive to innovate. A trailblazer in modern communications, Dr. Croak pioneered Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), the literal technology powering every internet calls, RIGHT NOW, she holds over 200 patents, and created critical applications like text-to-donate. Today, she leads teams at Google Research at the intersection of deep technology and societal impact, ensuring innovation is built on human-centric foundations to drive equitable, globally accessible AI. Produced in partnership with Google and directed by Trivell Miller, this film was two years in the making. It explores how curiosity, collaboration, and vision can shape the future — and leave a legacy that inspires the next generation to believe that the way things are does not have to be the way things will be. Thank you to everyone who helped bring this vision to life across 5 states! ✨ Full film is live now — check it out on YouTube, link in bio. 🎬 The Art of Possible — A Creative Theory Agency Production for @Google Agency Credits Directed by @tmillerfilms Producer @alexandraocesar // @inplay.works Director of Photography @othellobanaci Executive Producer @thisisrhardy Creative Producer @ciididdy Producer @heartbrkhannah Associate Producer @ashleesimone
