Join the Institute of Politics for a special conversation with Lesli Linka Glatter, acclaimed director, producer, and former President of the Directors Guild of America, and Eric Schultz, former White House Deputy Press Secretary under President Obama. Together, they’ll explore the art of storytelling across Hollywood and Washington—how narratives are shaped, shared, and used to influence culture, politics, and public perception. From the set of Homeland to the West Wing briefing room, this discussion offers a fascinating look at leadership, creativity, and communication in two of America’s most powerful industries.
