‍ ‍With a background in dance and the healing arts, I have spent much of my life cultivating creativity, somatic sensitivity, and human connection, bringing a heightened level of curiosity and emotional awareness to my work in film.

Growing up in Oregon in a family of artists, I developed an attentive eye and deep appreciation for the power of artistic expression in many forms.

‍ ‍ My own lifelong experiences with mental and physical health challenges and neurodivergence have given me an intimate understanding of what it means to live outside dominant cultural narratives. These influences have shaped my passion for amplifying underrepresented voices and exploring diverse human experiences through a visual language that is poetic, sensory-rich, and emotionally immersive.

Drawing on her knowledge of dance, music, and the body, Heidi creates films that invite audiences to experience stories not only intellectually, but somatically. Her work is visually saturated and layered, exploring thematic complexity while remaining deeply resonant and meaningful. She is fascinated by the challenge of expressing profound truths and the complexity of human experience in ways that stay with audiences long after the film ends.
