The See Change Team
BILL LATKA
Creator/Producer
Bill Latka is has written, produced, or directed hundreds of hours of programming, including over 2,500 national TV commercials, hours of television for Discovery and Science Channels, feature films, and web content.
After developing a revolutionary 8-part Discovery series about climate change solutions that was canceled before production due to internal network politics, he made a life shift by refocusing his storytelling skills to work more directly on the climate crisis. He’s helped several nonprofits to further their climate and environmental missions. He also co-founded a campaign on the verge of succeeding in shutting down an operating oil pipeline.
He’s excited to launch See Change as a manifestation of his nearly 20 year-long effort to help mitigate the current existential crisis we all face.
