Eden and Her Family
Documentary Film · Personal Storytelling
Project overview
Eden and her family share a deeply personal story about inclusion, independence, and the importance of having a voice in shaping one's own future.
Through conversations with Eden, her parents, and her brother, the film explores her upbringing, passions, and pursuit of greater independence. It also highlights how California's Self-Determination Program, supported by GT Independence, gives Eden and her family more choice and control over the services that support her goals.
Created for GT Independence, this documentary-style testimonial places authentic human experiences at the center of the story.

Social Campaign Edits
Alongside the full-length documentary, I created short-form edits highlighting key moments from Eden's story. Designed for social media distribution, these vertical videos bring the film's themes of inclusion, independence, and self-determination to audiences in a more accessible, bite-sized format.
