Mr. Griswold’s career in film and television spans several decades. Trained as a documentary film and television producer, his independent work has been awarded national prizes and has been shown widely in festivals and on television. His independent film, “LA FIEBRE DE IRSE,”  a documentary in Spanish about the two-way migration of an extended Puerto Rican family, was distributed nationally on PBS, HITN, and throughout Latin America. 

In 1987, Griswold began his involvement with Center for Astrophysics with the taping of A PRIVATE UNIVERSE, the widely-shown 18-minute video that depicts Harvard graduates grappling with misconceptions about the seasons and the phases of the Moon. From 1987 through 2012 he helped build the CfA’s Science Media Group (SMG) and participated in the production of all the major programming created at the SMG, including the public television series, “MINDS OF OUR OWN.” In 2003, he became  Executive Producer for the SMG's professional development courses and programs, including: “SCIENCE IN FOCUS: ENERGY,” “ESSENTIAL SCIENCE FOR TEACHERS,” “FICSS,” “EXPANDING THE UNIVERSE IN THE CLASSROOM,” “THE HABITABLE PLANET: A SYSTEMS APPROACH TO ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE.” “PHYSICS FOR THE 21ST CENTURY,” “NEUROSCIENCE IN THE CLASSROOM,” and “CHEMISTRY: CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS.” Many of these programs are currently in distribution by Annenberg Learner.org.

Currently, Griswold is producing a documentary film about to grapple with persistent misconceptions and increase society's trust in science.
