honoring the bearfish

In 2018, I moved to San Francisco, teamed up with my friend Sam Huff, and together we founded Bearfish Productions. Our work lived at the confluence of documentary, environmentalism, and music. Although Bearfish went to rest in 2024, I’m so thankful for the client-based and original work we were able to produce.
