I’m a firm believer that the best way to reach an audience with a story isn’t the same for everyone, so I’m always on the lookout for other ways to extend the life and the reach of the films I make through podcasts and photo essays, interactive editorials, museum exhibits and action campaigns. Between 2016 and 2018, I created three interactive documentary series in collaboration with Google and prominent non-profit organizations, where I also served as showrunner and director: Lynching in America (Equal Justice Initiative ) The Hidden Worlds of the National Parks (Nat’l Park Foundation) Show Up for Pride (GLAAD) Most recently, I served as creator, showrunner, and pilot director for Google’s first branded documentary series, Search On. My branded work has been honored at the Cannes Lions, One Show, D&AD, Art Director’s Club, Webby, and Clio awards. I’m currently in development on two feature length non-fiction projects and taking on freelance assignments with brands and publishers.
