Company

Emerson Collective

Role

Director, Project Lead — I worked with Emerson Collective’s sustainability portfolio manager to identify the story, conducted all interviews GRID staff and Rosebud community members, coordinated on-location production, and directed the film through shooting and post-production.

Direct and produce a short documentary for Emerson Collective highlighting the work of GRID Alternatives and its SolarCorps internship program on the Rosebud Reservation, where Native youth gain hands-on experience in the solar industry and help advance their community’s path toward energy sovereignty.

Approach

Emerson Collective partnered with GRID Alternatives to document their SolarCorps program on the Rosebud Reservation, which provides solar training and job experience for Native youth. The goal was to show how renewable energy can empower communities through education, opportunity, and energy sovereignty. I directed and produced the short film—leading on-site interviews, managing a full production team, and capturing authentic stories that connected clean energy to cultural and economic resilience.
