Co-Director, Sea of Shadows
Sea of Shadows (2019), winner of the Audience Award at Sundance, distributed by National Geographic, and Executive Produced by Leonardo DiCaprio.
As the film’s co-director and associate producer, I was involved in logistics and planning for shoots as well as being a member of the core creative team. I independently directed scenes; served as a camera operator, sound recordist, and DIT; helped coordinate shoots and served as a liaison for a number of our characters. I also wrote the first draft of the film’s treatment, and was involved in creative decision making throughout production and post-production. Watch the full film here.

This independently produced short documentary served as the inspiration for the feature film Sea of Shadows.
