Stories that Awaken. Films that Change Everything.
I create films that heal, reveal, and transform—confronting human trafficking, reframing faith through psychedelic healing, and inviting audiences into deeper truth.
Dear Anybody — A National Campaign to End Trafficking
I lead the creative for redM’s Dear Anybody, a national series of six cinematic PSAs and the digital arMed Toolkit, equipping communities to recognize, prevent, and respond to human trafficking.
Progress: $600,000 raised, four PSAs complete, and the app fully designed.
Next steps: Fund the final two PSAs, execute the national media buy, and complete the app build.
Impact: Expected reach of 25 million in year one.

Breaking Down Stigma. Opening Hearts. Healing Souls.
Ligare Stories explores how psychedelics are transforming lives within Christianity. Through intimate testimonies—veterans, seekers, and spiritual leaders—the series shows how these medicines help heal trauma and rediscover faith.
Created with Hunt Priest and supported by Rick Doblin and MAPS, the project aims to reduce stigma within fundamentalist and faith-based communities.
Proof of Concept: Completed—privately funded by a single donor.
Promotion: MAPS has pledged support to share the series across social media.
Goal: Complete the full series by summer 2026 as it gains traction across social media, and then present it at the next Psychedelic Science Conference after it has built widespread momentum and visibility.
