Story

A “punk-rock debutante” from Houston, Texas with serious wanderlust, I travel around collecting stories and images...

I moved to Austin, in 1995, graduating from film school at the University of Texas in ’97, while working as Richard Linklater’s personal assistant on the set of   The Newton Boys, a 1920’s period film based on the true Texas story of three renegade bank robbers.

Over the years I’ve created films, photographs, jewelry, websites, and graphic designs..influenced by art, fashion, nature, music, and social justice/environmental issues…nearly always exploring representations of women in Western culture and media.

While making movies for “the girl who says she’d never have a wedding video,”  I’ve traveled to the Ice Hotel in Sweden, to Marrakech, Morrocco; throughout Texas, the U.S. and Mexico…at parties featuring Prince, Al Gore, & Sister Sledge. Meeting fascinating characters along the way.

It has often been a wild and weird road….

I’ve seen a live alligator brought onto the dancefloor at a wedding in an old Southern mansion down in Victoria, Texas; a famous alleged murderer at a wedding in the historic Gulf Coast town of Galveston, exotic Indian weddings from Dallas to New York, and Prince playing  Nothing Compares to You at a birthday soiree’ thrown by an Austin tech millionaire.

In the Summer of 2008, I filmed the story of a close friend directing her first feature film, The Greatest, starring Susan Sarandon…taking me on a series of adventures…ultimately inspiring an episodic docu-series I’m directing, The Texas Huntress.

Hunting for me, is literal and metaphorical…hunting for characters, stories, adventures…and magical films of weddings, dinner parties, and birthdays…
