Shooting documentary footage of Chinese neocolonialism in Nicaragua, the eviscerating impact of shrapnel on Syrian refugees and rural surgery in remote Bolivia have reshaped her view of the world and unearthed more questions.

Savannah studied stage directing in NYC at The Barrow Group and afterward honed her skills as an actor’s director in two plays.
