Our professional work has spanned a decade as a producer, director, and editor team. From the first TEDx event ever filmed in a maximum security prison (Ford Foundation), to staff roles on Sundance-bound feature documentaries (Cesar’s Last Fast), Emmy-winning public interest documentaries for the County of Los Angeles (Mission Possible, Health Care Inside Men’s Central Jail), and a Producers Guild Award for global broadcast documentary series VICE World of Sports, we pride ourselves on telling contemporary, issue-driven stories through compelling people.
We have dedicated a combined 30 years to the Youth and Government program as delegates, statewide officers, volunteer advisors for the Culver-Palms Delegation, and as state-wide volunteers.
