2026 Chico Attendees Series
Film Director and Photographer Bob Miller joins Michael Chovan-Dalton from the 2026 Chico Review to talk about a multi-year series he brought to Chico which was recently featured as a story in The New Yorker Magazine. The Last Generation documents a family's small farm mostly through the experiences of a grandfather and granddaughter, as well as the endangered future of small farms in the U.S.
Bob Miller is a film director, photographer and Emmy nominated director of photography based in the American South. As a visual storyteller specializing in non-fiction, he provides regional coverage of contemporary social issues for a wide range of editorial clients. As a film director, Bob extends the same ethos to commercial storytelling, crafting original content to promote reputable brands. Bob accepts commissions from anyone who has a desire to leverage authentic storytelling. It is his conviction that a good story transcends barriers – pushing us beyond our own experience into the reality that we are all characters living similar narratives, facing like challenges.
