Our second hero spot for the Uber safety feature campaign, featuring Record My Ride. It was especially fun to work with actual drivers, sharing their stories and perspectives so candidly.
Shout out to @sarahsimkajaffe for nerding out hard with me on some funky lens choices! I love the vibes we were able to create. And for the rounds of edits put together by Mahoko Kuramasu and @amandadlcrz to get it all there!

Saturday, February 28th will see our 1:25pm documentary shorts block, TREADING WATER. This program explores stories of our attraction to the water, those who've achieved great success within it & the fight protect all that call it home:
.
TIDES OF TIME
Through a restoration ritual, Tides of Time blurs temporal boundaries to explore what drives us to keep, repair, and make things last. (5 Min, France)
.
THE DOLPHINS
Without wet-suits, fanfare, or ego, longtime female members of the Dolphin Swimming and Boating Club embody a rare relationship with the natural world: one built on endurance, reverence, and deep personal connection. Their stories unfold against the dramatic backdrop of the San Francisco Bay, where water, weather, and tide are as central as the people themselves. (10 Min, San Francisco, CA)
.
JULES IS ONE OF THEM
Windsurfing is a sport that experienced its golden age in the 1980s. Since this period, the sport has continued to lose popularity to the point of almost becoming a forgotten sport even among board sports enthusiasts. However, today windsurfing still benefits from a strong community of passioned maniacs around the world. (9 Min, France)
.
THE HUMAN SIDE OF PLASTIC: ABBY BARROWS
On Deer Isle, Maine, home to one of the world’s most productive lobster ports, warming waters and invisible microplastic pollution threaten a centuries-old way of life. A veteran lobsterman and his daughter reckon with the possible end of their family’s tradition, neighbor and microplastics researcher Abby Barrows offers a vision for a more sustainable future through plastic-free aquaculture. (19 Min, United Kingdom)
.
LOVE BIRDS
In 1972, married biologists George Hunt and Molly Warner make an unprecedented discovery while studying seagulls on one of California’s Channel Islands. To their surprise, a great number of the nesting pairs they observe are both female. George and Molly’s research on “lesbian seagulls” quickly triggers both outrage and jubilation in a nation grappling with the rise of the LGBTQ+ rights movement, and it threatens to tear apart their own relationship. (28 Min, San Diego, CA)

Come out for “A Night of Water” hosted by @mamadogstudios and @corduroymedia , a screening of short documentary films Thursday January 29th, 6pm. A free community event!
I’m honored to feature my film “The Dolphins” alongside amazing filmmakers Bronte Wittpenn (@brontewittpenn ) Paul Overstrom (@pauly_o ) and Alex J. Bledsoe (@alexjbledsoe )
See you there!
I was thrilled to work on this project with @imagine5_official and @cruzfoam , to present a positive story about sustainable climate solutions.
Meet John Felts, founder and CEO of Cruz Foam, a company that creates a compostable alternative styrofoam that decompresses in less than 8 weeks.
What began as John’s vision to make sustainable surfboard foam has evolved into a scalable solution to replace millions of tons of single-use plastic packaging. Their innovation represents the kind of future we need, where materials are designed to give back to Earth instead of polluting it.

Getting to love San Francisco’s wild open water swims and the camaraderie of swimmers. First Alcatraz crossing this year and adventure to Dead Man’s, the jagged rocks left coast line from China Beach.

This Friday 8/22 @artiststelevisionaccess will host a special screening of The Dolphins! A short documentary film about cold water wild swimming and long time members of the Dolphin Club - an historic swimming and boating club in San Francisco, CA.
8pm screening
$10 sliding fee
992 Valencia Street, SF
After a period of creative evolution and quiet development, filmmaker and editor Gaby Scott returns with The Dolphins, a deeply immersive and poetic portrait of San Francisco’s historic Dolphin Club.
Woven together over the course of five years, The Dolphins is both a love letter to the city and a meditation on history, ritual, and resilience. From clandestine shoots during the pandemic to conversations in steamy saunas and long swims in the frigid Bay, the film embraces verité-style storytelling and the unpredictable rhythm of real life. In the latest @withitgirl article, Gaby takes us behind the scenes of her latest project, offering insight into her creative process, the wisdom of swimmer Suzanne Heim, and the deep impact of cold water on the body and the spirit.
Come see the film on the big screen at one of the upcoming screenings:
🎬 Friday August 22nd @ 8pm, at the Artist’s Television Access (992 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA)
🎬 September/October TBD screening at the Four Star Theater
