Feature Documentary

Departments, funders, talent, and a story that keeps changing all have to be held in one hand — for months, sometimes years. Someone has to caretake the whole arc rather than hand it off between phases. That’s the part I love to take on.

Have a feature that deserves this kind of care?

True Kind Words

Evan is bold and kind at once, and that rare combination is why she gets results. She commands a set with real presence while putting the person in front of the camera completely at ease. On a documentary profile I worked on with her, that rapport produced an interview scene that was genuinely breathtaking. She carried it from story development through the edit, and the final film was better at every stage for her being on it. That leadership carries off set too — she's a thoughtful, direct mentor with real insight into the business side of this work.
Autumn Payne
Founder - CEO of Ethical Narrative
Evan is the kind of creative leader you want at the center of a demanding project. I’ve watched her masterfully navigate productions with global personalities like Romero Britto and Arnold Schwarzenegger, while bringing equal care and empathy to intimate stories like April’s journey from foster care to leadership in child welfare. She brings calm, humor, and generosity to the set. (A rare reminder that exceptional creative work does not require an exceptional ego.) She understands story, production, people, and clients, and has the judgment and composure to guide complex documentary and branded work from early concept through final delivery.

Sr. Creative Director - Muse Storytelling
Co - Director of The Highest of Stakes
As we hit year 5 of our business, we’d been through most of the trainings a visual storytelling company can attend. What we needed next was a mechanic, someone to do a full review of the business and help refine our systems, staff and product. Evan had a clear process for identifying our team’s training needs from the ground up, and her coaching came straight from the heart. We were so impressed with her coaching that we hired her back to enhance our internal systems. We loved her direct style in identifying improvements, and her hands-on approach to implementing the changes. If you’re serious about growing your production business and team, you need Evan on your side.

Founders, Story North Productions
Evan is a producer and director who puts her heart and soul into every project. She has a strong instinct for character-driven storytelling and approaches every project with a story-first lens, while always keeping the larger vision in mind. What makes Evan shine is how deeply she immerses herself in the work. She’s involved in every stage of the process, cares about the details and knows how to take an idea from its earliest stages through execution. Evan brings energy to a team, builds trust with the people around her, and is the kind of collaborator who makes everyone invested in the work.
