The aim of Open Hand Reel is to tell culturally relevant stories that use the medium of film as a lever to create opportunities to engage in acts of social justice.

Scott Macklin serves as the Associate Director of the Digital Media Masters Degree and the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for the College of Education at the University of Washington. Scott seeks to create a rich infrastructure that supports innovation and collaboration in the service of teaching and learning at the University of Washington, and thus of the institution itself, by creating a campus framework to promote the thoughtful exploration, development, assessment, and dissemination of next-generation technologies and strategies. In his copious amount of spare time, Scott – along with his wife, Angelica and two kids, Case and Nikko – makes award winning documentary films, raises chickens and brews up bio-fuel.
