I’m a documentary filmmaker and storyteller with a history of producing films that explore the intersection of science, society, and ethics. I’ve worked as a writer, producer, director, videographer, and editor on projects ranging from PBS documentaries on forest policy to educational films for scientists, schools, and citizen groups. My work has won awards from the Society of Professional Journalists, the Chicago and Houston International Film Festivals, and the National Wildlife Film Festival, among others.

My current focus is a documentary film in development for Human Energy. The project explores the future of artificial intelligence by placing it in the broader context of evolutionary history—tracing how symbolic language, writing, and digital computation have successively transformed the structure of human intelligence and cooperation. The film combines an origin story about the evolution of minds with a scenario planning process that imagines future pathways for the relationship between humanity and AI.

I’m particularly interested in how new information systems—like AI—can either deepen or disrupt human cooperation, and how understanding past transitions can inform how we design and govern our current tools. My aim is to create stories that don’t just inform, but challenge audiences to reimagine what’s possible.
