AppleMark Patricia Giniger Snyder is an award-winning a video/film producer, director, editor and writer specializing in documentaries.  Her work, whether long or short form presentations, have a creative and poignant uniqueness. 

She began her career at WNET/THIRTEEN, New York City’s flagship PBS station, but left to pursue her lifelong career as an independent producer, beginning with the internationally successful and acclaimed, Silent Pioneers, a documentary about elderly lesbians and gay men which premiered on PBS and aired in Europe, Asia and Australia. It received blue ribbon prizes at film festivals across the globe, as well as an Emmy Nomination for the Year’s Most Outstanding Program. 

Pat has also produced documentaries featured in permanent and temporary museum exhibitions.  Among them are Girona, the Mother of Israel/The Jews of Catalonia at the Jewish museum in Girona, Spain; The Lower East Side, Gateway to the American Dream at the Lower East Side Conservancy; and The Truth About the Dreyfus Affair  for a traveling exhibit on the Dreyfus Affair and housed in the University of Pennsylvania Library.

With the advent of the Internet, Pat specializes in short form documentaries for non-profit organizations which she likens to writing a perfect paragraph or short story rather than a full length novel.  These videos are shown by the non-profits on the worldwide web, as well as for galas, fundraising events and general education.  She has also produced legacy videos honoring distinguished professionals and celebrating peoples’ lives.  Among her numerous credits are:

  • Turning the World Orange (Caring for Cambodia)

Pat is an experienced Final Cut Pro editor, skilled in its ancillary programs such as MOTION and DVD Studio Pro.  She is also still photographer; her celebrity photograph documenting UN Refugee Agency’s videos to AID DARFUR with Meryl Streep and Tony Bennett, appeared in PEOPLE Magazine.

Pat is also a freelance writer and lecturer, focusing on healthcare, teenage and Jewish matters, particularly the Jews of Spain. Her articles have appeared in Hadassah Magazine and the Jewish Monthly.  Among her writing clients are:

Formerly, Pat was Director of Special Projects for Ruder Finn’s Visual Technology Group; Manager of the Government/Communities Affairs at WNET-Channel 13 (PBS station in NYC); a lecturer of film production at the University of Barcelona; a lecture circuit speaker on the Jews of Spain; a community activist for the Citizens Committee for Children in the South Bronx; an advance person for Ronnie M.
