Eva Moss (she/they)

I graduated from Smith College with a degree and a half in Film and Theater Studies, but long before that I knew I was going to be a filmmaker.

I am a huge people person, always have been. I am also a life-long learner and a sponge for information. At a very young age, I realized photography and videography are a way of learning. Through these visual arts, I connect to my subjects, learn who they are, what they love, how they look at the world, and then I translate that learning into a unique story that makes us feel connected to one another and the important issues of our time.

In my spare time, I love long distance bike rides and mushroom forays, camping in the stunning PNW woods, and traveling to new small corners of the world.

MY WORK

As a director, producer, editor, screenwriter, DP, distribution strategizer and photographer all in one, I have been referred to as a renaissance woman.

My background includes over a decade working on award-winning and Emmy-nominated documentaries for public television. The films & videos I have produced, edited, filmed and distributed have been widely used as tools to raise awareness and promote change on topics ranging from racism, homophobia in the military, child abuse, and climate change. In particular my role as an engagement coordinator has made me appreciate the power of media to be used to further specific outreach goals- be those community, political, environmental, consumer, educational, or brand- building.

I was the Creative Director of the Witness to Guantanamo project, the world's most comprehensive collection of Guantanamo stories, which reveals a legal black hole that delivered underwhelming security and overwhelming injustice. My company, Between the Lens, creates micro-docs, web, and branding videos for small businesses and non-profits. I love the energy of this format, and being able to create, deliver and distribute meaningful content quickly, allowing it to always be relevant.

In the narrative world, I have directed two shorts, a scripted commercial, and produced a short film and two web series. I wrote a short film, Controlling the Narrative, currently in post-production.

I am also a founder and current President of the Catalyst Film Collective, a non-profit elevating new voices in film by creating opportunities for members of underrepresented communities to tell our own stories—both in front of and behind the camera—at all levels of production. I believe this industry is uniquely positioned to change the global dialogue and culture, and that belief is a thread in all that I do.
