Research interests/biography

My focus as a film producer and director is to create work that reflects people, stories, places, and unique viewpoints specific to the Arctic. My research spans producing for television, independent narrative films, documentaries, and corporate/educational training videos. Through UAF FRAME Film Production Services, I work largely with Indigenous communities and academic researchers to make films that reflect the diversity of Indigenous knowledge and Alaskan ecology.
