In the Spring of 2024, I collaborated with two fellow filmmakers to create an environmental documentary exploring the delicate balance between urban development and wildlife preservation. I served as both producer and director, focusing our lens on a pressing environmental challenge: how expanding cities fragment natural habitats, forcing humans and wildlife into increasingly close contact. Through my partnership with Cougar Conservancy in Los Angeles, I gained unique insights into how these majestic predators navigate our urban landscape. I spent two months immersed in the filmmaking process, from editing archival wildlife footage using Adobe Creative Suite to conducting compelling interviews with conservation experts. The film culminated in a presentation to our stakeholders, where I showcased how thoughtful urban development can create space for both human communities and wildlife corridors to thrive.
