About Shai.

In a world where stories often skim the surface, I believe in diving deep. As an award-winning Film Director and Documentary Storyteller, I've dedicated my career to capturing the authentic voices of purpose-driven leaders who are creating meaningful change in their communities.

My approach to documentary film-making goes beyond traditional interviews and promotional content. I seek out the intimate moments, the unspoken truths, and the human elements that make each story uniquely powerful. Whether I'm directing content for global brands or crafting personal legacy documentaries, my focus remains the same: creating lasting impact through authentic storytelling.

My work has found homes on platforms including Netflix and NBC Sports, played at 30,000 feet on Delta Airlines, and sparked conversations in universities and theaters worldwide. But what truly drives me isn't just where the stories are seen—it's how deeply they're felt.

I lead a team of passionate artists and craftspeople who share my commitment to putting humans first. Together, we've developed a unique story mapping process that ensures every project not only captures your expertise but reveals the heart behind your work. This approach has earned the trust of industry leaders and change-makers who recognize that their stories deserve to be told with the same depth and care they bring to their own missions.

When I'm not behind the camera or in deep conversation with clients, you might find me exploring new destinations, rolling out my yoga mat, or embracing spontaneous adventures. These moments of discovery and presence inform my work, helping me bring fresh perspectives and authentic energy to every project.

I believe that in today's noisy digital landscape, there's an art to creating content that truly matters—content that transcends the daily scroll and creates lasting meaning.

If you're ready to share your story in a way that honors its depth and potential for impact, I'd love to explore how we can bring your vision to life.

Let's create something that doesn't just capture attention, but captures hearts and minds for generations to come.

  • I understand that commissioning a documentary is not a small thing - it requires investment of both time and resources. That's why I've developed a process called story mapping that helps us get clear on whether this is the right next step. Through story mapping, we explore your core values and the key stories that could bring your message to life. This gives you clarity on whether now is the time, and if so, what that path forward looks like.

    Even if you don't move forward with a documentary, the story mapping process provides valuable clarity about your story and message that can be applied to other aspects of your business and communication.

  • There are a million different ways to tell a story. My process, refined over years of documentary filmmaking, starts with story mapping to get clear on who you are and what you care about. From there, we develop a customized timeline that respects both the creative process and your goals. The story map provides you with a clear storyboard, ideal timeline, and budget for bringing your vision to life.

  • Documentary has a unique power to capture who you truly are in a way that other media can't match. When people can feel your presence and understand your mission through authentic storytelling, it creates deeper connections and lasting impact. My clients have used their documentaries to:

    * Build deeper trust with their audience

    * Create evergreen content that continues to impact people for years

    * Leave a meaningful legacy for future generations

    * Open new doors and opportunities

    * Reach and inspire new audiences

    You can't really feel who somebody is in an interview. You can't really feel who somebody is in a promotional video. But when people show you who they are in a documentary scene, you can truly feel them.

  • Absolutely. I believe in putting humans first - from my production team to the people whose stories we're telling. Your voice and vision are essential to the process. The story mapping phase ensures we're aligned on the core message and approach before we begin production. Throughout filming and editing, we maintain open communication and collaboration to create something that truly represents your vision.
