Producer (non-narrative documentary film style):

This is a shortened clip from the feature-length documentary film We Are Tuvalu that received worldwide distribution with PBS and ABC Australia. It aired in over 50 countries and territories.

I produced this documentary and post produced the edit of the documentary.
In this "One in 8 million" style piece, I profiled WGN sports anchor/reporter Lauren Magiera who discusses the power of words and shares the most hurtful and encouraging phrases that have made a lasting impact on her.

Lauren is WGN's first female sports anchor and has been the victim of cyberbullying throughout her career. I reached out to her asking if she would share her story. I interviewed, filmed, and edited this piece together to share her story and show the power and impact words can have people.
 A small community in Northeast Alabama. A mayor whose town sits on the river’s banks. A businessman in the Mobile Bay. All of these communities are impacted by coal ash in Alabama.

"Ashes to Ashes" is a short documentary that shows how Alabamians throughout the state are impacted by the pollution by-product of burning coal. As a  Southern Exposure Film Fellow during the summer 2018, I had six weeks to source, interview, film, and edit this piece together. My goal was to create a compelling, non-narrative film that interwove stories from various communities.


The film was selected for the 2019 Wild & Scenic Film Festival and will be on the national tour throughout 2019. It also received the 2019 Big Muddy Film Festival John Michaels Film Award.
Paint Cuba is a short non-narrative film that takes viewers on a journey to Havana, Cuba.

While visiting Havana, I stumbled upon a group of American painters who traveled to the City of Columns to paint the iconic city and classic cars as part of a Plein Air Painting trip. I asked if I could interview and film the painters (they said yes), and I began interviewing and filming them on the fly. I wanted to create a piece that not only showed the beauty of the artwork, but also showed the beauty of the antique cars they were painting and the city itself. I incorporated natural sound from the environment around me while filming the piece in an effort to give viewers an experience rather than a report.
