Storytelling is my passion and my life’s work. My films are known for being visually cinematic, emotionally complex and incredibly intimate. I love the process of getting to know people and finding the most beautiful and meaningful way to tell a great story.

My feature documentary Sirens, starring the Middle East’s first all-female metal band, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and won the Grand Jury Prize at Outfest. It was praised as “utterly charming” by the Hollywood Reporter, “deeply moving,” and “narrative perfection.” The film was released in theaters across the U.S by Oscilloscope and is now available to stream.

Most recently, I directed and executive produced Wild Boys, a 2-part doc series for Paramount+ about two young brothers who claimed they were raised in the woods. I was hired to direct a film about former conflict photographer Muhammed Muheison for Nat Geo/Disney+ as part of the Photographer anthology series. We earned a Peabody Award, an Independent Spirit Awards nomination for Best New Documentary Series, and I received a Cinema Eye Honors nomination for Best Cinematography.

For as long as I’ve been a filmmaker I’ve also been a mentor and speaker in the international documentary community. Alongside my partners Jennifer Tiexiera and Camilla Hall, we co-founded the Los Angeles and London based production company Lady and Bird Films (Subject). We are known for our ethical approach to nonfiction filmmaking. I am a Chicken & Egg Awardee, a Concordia Fellow, a Sundance Momentum Fellow, a Film Independent Fellow, one of DOC NYC’s ‘40 under 40,’ and a proud member of Brown Girls Doc Mafia. I’m also an accomplished cinematographer, sponsored by Canon, though I don’t always lens my own films.

Currently, I’m working on several projects in various stages, including Stallions, a feature documentary set in Morocco supported by the Sundance Institute and selected for the 2026 Venice Gap-Financing Market. I’m also writing my debut scripted feature. And when I’m not behind the camera, I’m always looking for a horse to ride!
