Bio
I trained as a filmmaker, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts at New York University, Tisch School of the Arts and freelancing in the independent film industry for 2 years. Seeking independence I starting my own production company in 2010, making videos about farm-to-table businesses. After a life-changing experience with the Occupy movement, I took a hiatus from filmmaking to immerse myself in mediation, farming and teaching, to learn the core of humanity and to calibrate my inner compass. I returned to filmmaking in 2016, inspired to make videos about the social-emotional preschool where I was teaching.
I am currently based in Boulder, Colorado, where Earth Dog Films and I produce videos for and consult with artists, teachers, healers, and revolutionaries. I am in the process finishing my first feature documentary, Fracking the System.
I believe we are in a time of beautiful possibility to become drastically more aligned with our personal and collective well-being. I believe we must have compassion and empathy for those who suffer and listen to their discomfort as sign posts for collective growth and their pain as a roadmap to health. The injustice of our systems arise from a society that is out of balance, too focused on temporary, individual gain rather than long-term, collective well-being.
We live in an amazing time. Internally and externally, human civilization is growing faster than ever before and consuming more than ever before. The media and messages we consume, the stories we are telling and hearing, matter now more than ever.
What stories are we telling and retelling?
