Story Ark begins with a simple need: vital stories made in vital ways.
After years of nonfiction filmmaking, especially editing, I’ve come to learn how much creative work depends on the rhythm of attention — and the ability to step away from the screen and listen differently.
I’ve been searching for a more integrated way of working, one where land, pace, and presence shape the process as much as ideas do.
When I look back, I realize I once knew a place that held this kind of balance. As a kid, I spent summers at a mountainside cabin camp in Colorado — a creative world shaped by exploration, outdoor play, and simple community rituals.
It was both safe and wild, structured and free, educational and imaginative.
