Documentary Filmmaking

I have a short documentary film currently underway, with the help of Culture & Animals Foundation. This film shares the following story: Inspired to rescue a discarded calf from a “livestock” auction in an attempt to rectify her previous support of the dairy industry, Meika connects with a local dairy farmer and forms an unexpected agreement that ultimately liberates twenty male calves from fates at the slaughterhouse and instead brings them to sanctuaries across the Pacific Northwest (USA) via a newly erected, grassroots network of activists. Thank you, CAF, for your support and belief in this film!

Below is a short documentary film, titled “Coming Closer,” that I made on the experience of bearing witness to cows as they are brought to a slaughterhouse. It was screened at the International Vegan Film Festival in October 2019 in Ottawa, Canada, and toured with this festival virtually in Spring 2020.
