I do filmmaking and advocacy work

in Brooklyn, New York | Munsee Lenape & Canarsee land

As a producer and writer, I work across genres and formats with particular interest in themes of social justice, history, feminism, and identity. My experience is in development and production of scripted and documentary projects. 

I facilitate a video working group within the Media & Communications Committee of  NY Renews, a New York climate justice coalition that drives progressive climate law in New York state with values of justice and equity as ethical imperative and strategic advantage in addressing the climate crisis. My work at the coalition began with an organizing fellowship for the 2022-2023 legislative session. Our primary legislative agenda is the Climate, Jobs & Justice Package.

Now, as a director and producer, I work with coalition members to create videos that communicate that agenda and galvanize New Yorkers to organize for climate justice in our state.

Currently, I’m…

• Producing and directing videos for NY Renews.  (Check out our most recent People’s Climate Justice Budget video playlist)!

• Freelancing as a pitch deck & treatment writer.

• Auditioning for film, television, and theatre roles.

• Applying to film festivals with the short-form satire series PROBLEMATIC, which I co-created with Aditi Natasha Kini and Pranav Behari for BRIC TV . The first season is set for release on BRIC TV’s digital platform in 2024.

• Developing a historical fiction series based on a novel by Evie Blaikie for Green Leaf Productions.

Other credits include…

the two-part documentary feature Phoenix Rising, which premiered as a special screening at Sundance Film Festival 2022 and began streaming on HBO in March 2022. The project was produced by DISARMING FILMS, a documentary production company where I was a development producer for two years. There, I developed and pitched original, co-produced, and adapted docu-series and doc films.

My favorite stories…

find evocative ways for audiences to, as movement leaders put it,  reimagine our world and ourselves. 

You can find me…

trying to dismantle oppressive systems, staying civically engaged, and making art. An amateur socialist and determined dissident of the American government, revolution is on my mind most days. Transcendent moments in my life happen when I’m in nature, snuggling with my cat, reading too many books at once, collaborating with good people, on stage, on camera, and with beloveds — especially if we’re listening to music, or eating food I do not take for granted. In those moments, I feel shekinah, the Hebrew word for the manifestation of God’s presence in intimacy between beings and the feminine presence of God.

If, like me, you’re delusional enough to work on film and television projects, or shaping our country’s structures with love, please get in touch!
