As a seasoned documentary storyteller, I specialize in long and short form documentaries with a focus on the environment, natural history, and human rights. I've crafted award-winning programs that have screened at film festivals around the world and have aired on PBS, Discovery Channel, The History Channel and are featured at international museums and visitor centers. I also work with independent filmmakers as a scriptwriter and story consultant. 

 

My recent environmental and natural history work includes the annual short profile films about heroic grassroots activists who have won the prestigious Goldman Environmental Prize; the documentary feature film Water for Life (streaming on Amazon), which tells the story of three Latin American community leaders who risk their lives to resist government and corporate plans to divert critical local water resources to mining and hydroelectric projects; K'etniyi: the Land Is Speaking To Us (streaming on PBS) about Lake Clark National Park told by the people who love it and care for it—the Dena’ina, whose roots go back over 10,000 years, and park service scientists. Together they share a commitment to honoring, respecting, and caring for the land and water and protecting it for future generations.

 

My human rights content includes including multiple films for the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, Holocaust Museum Houston, and several films about the wrongful incarceration of Japanese Americans during WW2, including the Emmy award winning Betrayed: Surviving an American Concentration Camp.
