In 2025, I had the amazing opportunity to participate in the Jackson Wild Media Lab. There, my collaborators Madison McKay and Sumeet Kulkarni made this short about the work of University of Wyoming PhD candidate Meredith Journey. Meredith studies zooplankton in alpine lakes in the Tetons. Her research on these tiny animals sheds light on how climate change affects water quality and describes a largely understudied part of the mountain ecosystem.

Dr. Mesi Fischer studies how tadpoles of Ranitomeya variabilis, a tiny poison frog species, communicate to their parents after being transported to bromeliad water pools. The research takes her to a remote field station in the Amazon Rainforest, where her findings shed light on parent-offspring communication and the effects of climate change on amphibians.

2022 - Narrative, 95 minutes

Kathryn and Davey are stumbling through their twenties together, struggling with unfulfilling jobs and unformed personal identities.
