CAVU :: official site

CAVU is a US public charity dedicated to educating and engaging key stakeholders about sustainable management of our natural resources. CAVU uses its unique combination of tools: flight, film and strategic alliances to bring communities, governments and public opinion makers new perspectives of the fragility and scarcity of their natural resource and its potential as a sustainable economic resource.

I first teamed up with CAVU in 2007 for editing and post-production on Voces del Darién. Assisting on the shoot and taking full advantage of the CAVU mobile edit suite, I completed a "field edit" - a unique and exciting opportunity to craft the film's story, structure and style with the benefit of immediate feedback from not just the crew but also the communities and organizations featured in the film. Other responsibilities have included managing large quantities of media from various shoots. Since 2007, I have gone on to work with CAVU on numerous other projects, such as Nuestras Aguas, Nuestra Vida, Agua Más Que Un Tubo, and Cockscomb: Jaguar Proud.
