Alan Newcomb - Operations Associate

Alan recently joined S.T.O.P. as an operations associate after leaving a two-decade career in the film industry as a camera assistant to pursue a master’s degree in social work and spend more time with his wife, two children, mother, books, and cat.  While grateful for the years he spent backing up some of the world’s best cinematographers, he is thrilled to now have the backs of the lawyers, activists & advocates of S.T.O.P., applying his logistical and systems experience to a whole new sector of watchers and watching.  Alan graduated from Bard College in 2003 where he studied art, primarily working with installation and video pieces.  He will begin at the University of Georgia’s MSW program this fall and plans to eventually work in mental health, somewhere around the intersection of addiction, trauma and dissociative disorders.
