I’m a filmmaker and writer based in New York, drawn to stories that explore how the landscapes we inhabit shape our identities, memories, and survival.
From the disappearing bayous of Louisiana to the melting glaciers of the Arctic, I’ve documented communities and individuals navigating profound change.
For The Guardian, I reported on a school fighting to save one of Louisiana’s oldest dialects-a language intertwined with the land itself, spoken by Native Indian and Cajun communities striving to preserve their heritage. For Tricycle, I spent a morning with the chaplain of New York’s hidden public cemetery, as he tended to a burial and reflected on the role of landscape, memory, grief, and Buddhism in his work. In Svalbard, an Arctic archipelago, I documented artists confronting the fastest-warming place on the planet. This project became an essay for Guernica and an award winning short film, which screened at festivals in the US and UK. My writing has been supported by the Bread Loaf Environmental Writing Conference.
Behind the scenes, I’ve spent years as a documentary editor and assistant editor, helping filmmakers craft compelling narratives. From illuminating the mind of Oliver Sacks and unpacking the alchemy of cooking with Michael Pollan, to investigating complex geopolitics, I’ve collaborated on award-winning films with directors such as Alex Gibney (Jigsaw Productions), Martin Smith, Marcela Gaviria, Tom Jennings, Annie Wong (FRONTLINE), and Ric Burns (Steeplechase Films). Films I’ve worked on have premiered at festivals like TIFF, NYFF, and Telluride, and on networks including Amazon, HBO, Netflix, and PBS.
At its core, my work asks a recurring question: How do we hold onto meaning when the ground beneath us is shifting?
I’m always open to collaborating with people who believe stories can reframe how we see the places we inhabit, our histories, and one another.
