I'm a filmmaker and founder of Awen Creators, blending my background in medicine and my passion for storytelling to create impactful visual narratives. My journey as a pediatric ECMO specialist and ICU nurse has deeply influenced my cinematic work behind the camera, instilling a sense of resilience, empathy, and a focus on the human experience. As a director of photography, editor, and colorist, I strive to bring out the authentic emotions and relationships that connect us all, whether through documentary, narrative, or commercial projects.My portfolio includes collaborations with a diverse range of organizations, from major streaming platforms and cultural institutions to leading healthcare providers and award-winning artist and performers. I am committed to working with creatives and changemakers on projects that not only entertain but also inspire and foster a deeper understanding of the world around us.Passionate about cultural immersion and environmental respect, I often find myself in remote mountain villages as an expedition photographer, capturing the beauty of nature and the richness of diverse communities. My love for adventure and exploration extends to my own life, where I embrace the simplicity of nomadic travel in my van, “Baby Ruth,” always seeking new horizons and the magic that lies just beyond.With a diverse background that includes roles as a master carpenter, DJ, pipe organ builder, competitive cyclist, and disaster relief volunteer, I bring a wide-ranging perspective to my work. My creative process is also grounded in mindfulness, drawing inspiration from practices like meditation, yoga, and cold plunging, which help me stay centered and connected to my own journey of self-discovery.I am always excited to connect with fellow filmmakers, creatives, and organizations who share a passion for authentic storytelling and making a positive impact. Let's create something meaningful together.
