February 1st, 2026


As I build out this space, please find a little information below, written quickly as I work to finish 2025 wedding edits.

My intention this year is to expand my garden of creative offerings and to offer my filmmaking services to those interested in collaborating, particularly to female identifying and trans people.

I am open to your ideas. Here are mine:

Portal films. Captured during at least two moments in time, including before/after birth, death, transition, your house build.

Immersion films.  A week long workshop you're running, behind the scenes of the making of a performance.

Political films. Immigration, climate change, governance.

I capture on 4K digital, Super 8mm (16mm soon), and mini dv camcorder.

At this time I am willing to work for low/no fee/trade if logistical aspects align right.

I am interested in using filmmaking as a tool for deeper understanding of self and others. I relate to the trusted town doctor who enters people's homes, knows the stories, and helps with healing. My creative lineage includes adrienne maree brown, Jane Goodall and Albert Maysles, among others.

Additionally, I am interested in mentoring people who are looking to work as documentary wedding filmmakers. 

All for now, more soon, and I look forward to hearing from you,

Amanda
