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!
