About the Director
Grace Sullivan (she/her) is a filmmaker and writer whose work has become progressively more rooted in environmentalism. Born in the Bay Area but raised in the Deep South, Grace has had the privilege of growing up surrounded by nature and immense biodiversity. Two months after graduating from Temple University's Honors Program and Film and Media Arts Department, she began her current position as Manager for the Green Film School Alliance, an organization focused on promoting sustainable production and climate storytelling. She has been awarded two Environmental Media Association Green Seals for sustainable behind-the-scenes production practices, and was the first at her university to achieve this recognition. Grace enjoys integrating experimental aesthetics into dramatic narratives, reflected by all of her directorial projects, including her first documentary and most recent work, "Where the Water Goes." She strives to equally engage and educate audiences through her doc content as it screens at film festivals across American cities. This short sparked a newfound interest in documentary, leading to Grace's current involvement with Bending the Arc Project, an Alabama docuseries, and the Titusville Environmental Heritage archival project. Grace is thrilled to take on a new endeavor that combines her knowledge and passions and, most of all, connects to her hometown community!
