each day radiates warmth with you in it.
memories of the last months that have brought both big & tiny little joys.
tqm Bree,
missing you from NYC, 2025.
Incredibly honored to announce our film Fish for the Future has been selected for this year’s Mountainfilm.
@bree.m.irvin & I’ve attended the last few years and have been captivated by the storytelling and community we’ve encountered; always dreaming of one day being included in the lineup. I’m grateful to join an incredible lineup of docs this year.
Fish for the Future is playing in the Wild Shorts Block, Zach & I will see you in Telluride. 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

We’ve been out fishing… and caught a few new festivals. I’ll be traveling to a few in the next months for Q&As. Thankful that our local story is headed to many incredible festivals across the country, will be great to watch other stories and meet filmmakers from all over. More announcements coming soon…
10 years since we lost our hermano Cam.
A decade has gone by but the memories of the last days we spent together are still fresh in my mind. As I look back on these moments in Ecuador, I connect to how free we felt traveling over the country. Experiencing new places and having hours to talk about all the things we were excited about and looking forward to in life.
I’m so fortunate to have known Cam. His unexpected passing gave all of us such a wake up call to appreciate the greatness of life — the greatness Cam exuded each day. He lived his own unique way, to his own beat, and drew us all in.
I am for the better knowing him. Forever grateful, thank you Cam. ❤️
I’ll be at @CoastFilmFestival in November with Fish for the Future.
Fantastic lineup this year and excited to join many filmmakers and documentaries I admire. Join me at the screenings in the Our Lands shorts block, on 11/04 at 5pm or 11/09 at 12pm. More info in the post & link in bio!

Last month, I was invited by @californiatrout to visit and document the site of the removed Sunol Valley pipeline barrier on Alameda Creek in the Bay Area. It’s rare that I get to see the final stages of a creek restoration project that is so close to completion, and it’s exciting to be a part of this historic recovery in the Bay Area!
Alameda Creek, the largest local tributary to the San Francisco Bay, is one step closer to a free-flowing stream accessible to steelhead, salmon, and more native fish species.
CalTrout and partners gathered at the project site to watch removal of the last barrier begin. The barrier is created by an erosion control mat over a PG&E-owned gas pipeline.
When this project is complete, fish will have unimpeded access into the highest quality habitat remaining in the watershed in and upstream of Sunol Regional Park!

Last night was incredible - I was completely humbled that we took home Best Overall Film for Fish for the Future at Patagonia Film Festival.
I am so grateful for everyone who came out to support in person and from a far.
It’s been a journey since the beginning of the year when the fires broke out; changing everything for so many people and species. When I got the call to help document the fish rescues with the @rcdsmm , I could not imagine we would be sharing these stories with so many people and it is just the beginning.
I’m especially thankful for Rosi, the RCDSMM and all our other agencies and partners who made these important rewilding efforts possible as we fight for these critical species to survive alongside us for generations to come.
Fish for the Future!
