Hey, I’m Amanda

I'm a Documentary Director, Collaborator, & Non-Fiction Story Consultant.

My work is about finding, shaping, and sharing meaningful stories with care and levity, and helping others do the same.

If you're looking to tell a story worth telling (and tell it like it deserves to be told) you've come to the right place.

The best stories start with characters.

My work starts with people.

Collaborative teams, honest communication, shared vision, room for joy. I bring Emmy Award-winning experience to productions that are people-forward and humane - because when people feel safe to be themselves, that's when the best stories happen.

Documentary as Art

I love non-fiction storytelling as an art form because the raw materials are life and people themselves. Real people, real complexity, real connection. And we could all use a little more of that. Want to learn more? I talk about this kinda stuff on my Substack, Field Notes.
