About the Director
Callie Mejia (she/her) is a documentary producer and director committed to telling stories that deepen audiences’ relationship with the natural world. Raised in the Pacific Northwest, she developed an early understanding of nature not only as a place of beauty, but as an underlying force that shapes communities, identity, and stewardship. She earned a B.A. in Film and Television Production with a minor in Environmental Studies from Loyola Marymount University before moving to Denver to pursue nonfiction filmmaking at the intersection of science, environment, and public engagement. Her work is driven by a belief that documentary film can make complex environmental issues both accessible and emotionally resonant, inspiring viewers toward greater awareness and action.
