"The Age of Influence explores the lengths some people will go to achieve and maintain wealth, fame, or relevance. Whether they thought they'd get away with it — or that negative attention is just better than no attention at all — this docuseries deftly articulates how the internet can bring out the absolute worst in people.
"The vital and often heart-wrenching Max documentary series Teen Torture, Inc. - Guided by skillful and straightforward direction from Tara Malone, this three-part series can make for difficult viewing, but through the stories of pain and suffering, we’re also left with profound empathy and admiration for the survivors."
"Fallen Idols lays blame on a number of factors that contributed to the brothers’ challenges: an overly permissive, alcohol-filled home environment, toxic fan culture and a music industry replete with double standards that gave in to every whim and entitlement of its successful male performers—even if they might be predators."
"Murder Has Two Faces succeeds in giving attention to cold cases that should have gotten more media and law enforcement attention when they initially happened, especially given how similar cases that happened in the same timeframe were covered."
​
“I am most driven by first-person storytelling and survivor-based storytelling,” Malone said.
“I try to take these particular conversations as the gifts that they are.”
​
“It’s something that has been going on for decades, there’s not one type of teenager that this happens to, whether that’s about the economics of it or the race of it, or the where they live.”
