BUILT THROUGH A COMBINATION OF EXPERT INTERVIEWS, ARCHIVAL MATERIAL, FIELD FOOTAGE, GRAPHICS, AND RESEARCH-DRIVEN STORYTELLING, AMERICAN FOREST FIRE EXPLORED THE GROWING WILDFIRE CRISIS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AND THE HISTORICAL DECISIONS THAT HELPED SHAPE TODAY’S INCREASINGLY DESTRUCTIVE FIRE CONDITIONS. THE SERIES FEATURED VOICES FROM ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENTISTS, HISTORIANS, FIREFIGHTERS, CONSERVATIONISTS, POLICYMAKERS, LANDOWNERS, AND NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBAL COMMUNITIES WORKING DIRECTLY WITHIN WILDFIRE PREVENTION AND LAND STEWARDSHIP.

AS WRITER AND EDITOR, I DEVELOPED THE SERIES THROUGHOUT POST-PRODUCTION, WRITING VOICE-OVER NARRATION AND SHAPING THE EDITORIAL STORY STRUCTURE ACROSS MULTIPLE EPISODES. I BALANCED SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY, HISTORICAL CONTEXT, AND HUMAN-CENTERED STORYTELLING TO CREATE AN ACCESSIBLE AND CINEMATIC DOCUMENTARY SERIES DESIGNED FOR BROAD AUDIENCES.
