The Vision
Killer Journey Productions is a boutique production company that provides artists with opportunities and organizations with original content that inspires, educates, and drives collective evolution through story.
We are committed to transcending the boundaries of storytelling through visually stunning and sustainable productions, cultivating a collaborative environment that nurtures talent while delivering exceptional content and service to our clients and partners.
Mission Statement
50% of profits are allocated to marine conservation content creation and strategic communication donations to conservation organizations.
Featured Organization
Wild Orca is an exceptionally cool organization with a badass scientist and her whale scat detector dog at the helm. The mission is crucial, and Giles’s dedication and innovation are impressive.
Monitoring the health of the critically endangered Southern Resident Killer Whale population is detrimental to their recovery and survival. Collecting blood samples from orcas in the wild isn’t feasible, but whale scat? A non-invasive game changer.
Giles, along with Eba, her rescue dog trained for killer whale scat detection, can achieve real-time health monitoring of the Southern Residents by collecting whale scat, running labs, and simultaneously and sharing their findings with the public.
If you are in any way curious about killer whales or love epic marine conservation content, I highly recommend checking out their website and following their socials. The emails are always loaded with fascinating and informative updates, and their Instagram never disappoints.
The work that Wild Orca is doing is crucial to the survival of the Southern Resident Killer Whale population, and they can’t do it without our support.

The Killer Journey...
Born in La Jolla in 1976, I’ve lived on both coasts and a few places in between. In 2000, while working as an adventure guide in Colorado, I was invited to apply to International Stuntschool in Seattle. It was love upon landing.
In 2001, I moved to Wilmington, NC, to train with a Stunt Coordinator named John Copeman. After three years of training with the now Emmy-Nominated Copeman on shows such as Dawson’s Creek, I set my sights on writing and directing but had no idea how to get there. I continued to devour opportunities on shows such as One Tree Hill, and Eastbound and Down.
While training as a stuntwoman in Wilmington, I traveled to Myrtle Beach and worked undercover in a nightclub for a dark comedy I was writing called Character Shoes, a coming-of-age story within a story...
In 2008, inspiration struck for my first film, There Will Be No Stay.
After three years of writing both and dancing to fund the research, I relocated to Omaha, Nebraska to learn production from Dana Altman at North Sea Films. In addition to various commercial and independent film projects, I produced music videos for bands such as Bright Eyes, Icky Blossoms, and The Faint.
This is when I began working with Independent Spirit Award-winning filmmaker and musician, Nik Fackler and Emmy Award-winning cinematographer Jeremy Osbern.
After seven years, There Will be No Stay was completed and sold to an Indie label, FilmBuff. I gave everything away, downsized to a dive bag, and began to focus on recovery through comedy and Character Shoes. In 2019, development was funded and the pilot was completed. Then, COVID…
IIn 2020, during a pandemic-inspired master class in conservation, I decided to return to school and pivot to marine conservation communications and filmmaking.
Further research led me to a captive orca named Tokitae and her critically endangered Southern Resident Killer Whale family as well as a dynamic group of experts and activists dedicated to saving them.
A Killer Journey-Tokitae’s Return is the film for which this company was formed and the first project that will be funded by company proceeds.
The documentary is in its third year of development and will begin production in the summer of 2024.
Stay tuned and let’s collaborate!
