Price Cone Liptzin lecture with Guy Mossman
Guy Mossman ’04, the fall 2026 Price Cone Liptzin lecturer, is an American cinematographer whose work bridges intimate character study with bold, cinematic visuals. He made his first short film while serving in the Peace Corps in Paraguay in 2000 and went on to earn a Park Fellowship at UNC-Chapel Hill, completing an M.A. in Journalism and Documentary Filmmaking.
Mossman is known for his dramatic, natural-light photography on award-winning documentaries including the Oscar-shortlisted Sundance Audience Award winner “Buck,” the Sundance Special Jury Prize-winning “Feels Good Man” and “Bending the Arc.”
In 2022, he made his directorial debut co-directing and lensing “The Human Trial,” an ambitious, years-long chronicle of a radical Type 1 diabetes clinical trial. Most recently, he co-directed, produced and photographed SPEAK., a feature documentary that premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, following teenage competitive orators at the National Speech & Debate Association’s championship as they discover the power of their voices through oratory and storytelling.
