All the things she never said

2024 (Independent Nonfiction, Investigative)

All The Things She Never Said is a three part documentary that forensically examines the concept and career of t.A.T.u and the notorious song and music video that anchors the controversy surrounding the group: “All The Things She Said”. The story of t.A.T.u’s cultural impact is ripe with mind melting revelations and 2000s nostalgia, but beyond the surface is so much more; the story of t.A.T.u is a geographically-charged-cultural-sapphic-seance on the lesbian identity, porn-as-entertainment, the post-Soviet identity, Putin’s warmongering regime, the male gaze, and the exploitation of workers rights in music that plagues the industry not only in the time of t.A.T.u, but still today in 2024.

2023 (Independent Nonfiction, Documentary)

Super cool toxic workplace

2021 (Independent Nonfiction, Investigative)

This is a podcast about how beer brewery and brand Mikkeller became a Super Cool Toxic Workplace - told by those who experienced it first hand. We also follow the story of online communities that drove the company from denial to admission. How do toxic workplaces happen? Who do they devalue? Who do they enrich?
