Overview
I served as a producer and communications lead for a national PBS docu-series following a cross-country motorcycle journey through the Great Plains. My work supported narrative development, field logistics, and digital storytelling throughout production.
What I Did
Conducted on-camera interviews with community leaders, tourism stakeholders, and Native American leadership.
Crafted interview questions, outlines, and editorial messaging.
Produced behind-the-scenes and documentary content in the field using Sony FX systems.
Wrote narrative summaries, production notes, and story drafts.
Assisted with pre-release communications and publicity groundwork.
Far West Texas yawns awake.
We doubled the population of Pandale last night, and our humble film crew kept the nutria company as they grazed the Pecos Riverbank. The katydids and lapping waves were our lullaby until the hot sun rose to greet the new day.
Now, making our way through the winding backroads to Colorado City, we pull over often to capture the guys riding through the West Texas wilderness. I feel close to a friend when we stop through her hometown of Ozona. I can picture the life here I’ve only heard about through nostalgia. A long day is always made shorter by good company and purpose.
