I craft powerful video stories that move people, educate, and inspire change. I work as an embedded filmmaker, accompanying explorers, scientists and historians in the field and on expeditions. I document remote and difficult projects to preserve stories that matter.

This website is currently undergoing a rework, thank you for you patience.

Dr. Elma Kay stands in a devastated patch of land outside Belmopan. She has spent the last decade building a coalition of local and international organizations to stop the deforestation that threatens Belize’s cornerstone jaguar population. She’s a hero, and our video was part of her efforts.

Why it matters.

Much of the world’s important work in science, conservation, and exploration happens far from public view — in difficult terrain, under uncertain conditions, and within fragile systems of knowledge. When this work goes undocumented, much is lost.

Careful visual storytelling preserves not just outcomes, it:

  • Preserves process, memory, and responsibility

  • Underscores a project’s importance in today’s saturated information economy

  • Vests a project with credibility

  • Generates funding through partnerships, sponsorships and grants

  • Impacts public policy… really!

IN THE FIELD


I work as a quiet, adaptable presence within teams — not as an external observer.

  • Small-footprint, solo or minimal-crew approach

  • Respect for research timelines and scientific process

  • Risk mitigation

  • Consent-first, non-sensational storytelling

  • Comfortable with uncertainty, hectic schedules, weather, and spartan accommodation

  • Collaborative and culturally aware
