Bio
Impact Producer / Documentary Researcher / Systems Change Facilitator / Short Film Director / Co-Organiser at Filmmakers for Future: Wildlife / Surfing Instructor
I'm particularly interested in human-nature relations (beyond this separation and particularly with the ocean), queer narratives, the role of embodied practices in realising the worlds that we want and in impact field-building.
I'm currently seeking to create retreats / residencies for filmmakers committed to impact, by combining surfing / surf therapy and change-making strategy. I'm exploring how politicised somatics and collective imagination can inform the kind of practices to weave in, in addition to systems change and impact production methods. I'm curious to connect with people & organisations doing similar work already, and to learn about funding models to benefit low income participants.
I previously shared my professional time between media work and facilitating the co-creation of a new editorial culture in Film and TV. In particular, I helped coordinate the industry-specific grassroots movement Filmmakers for Future: Wildlife.
