Bio

Heather is a creative producer and director who has created works for film and tv. Most recently, Heather created and produced Self Employed, a tv series for Discovery +, a docu-series about amateur rodeo competitors for Great American Family (formerly Great American Country), and a feature documentary about comedy legend Gary Mule Deer featuring Steve Martin, Jay Leno, David Letterman, and Conan O'Brien.

Heather's directorial debut, Crescendo, followed thirty of the world's most gifted musical talents from all over the globe as they compete in Ft. Worth, Texas for the world-renowned Van Cliburn International Piano Competition - the Olympics of classical piano. Along the way, we see what pushes the competitors, what causes them to unravel and break down, and most importantly how the select few grapples with and ultimately confronts the increasing pressure of the final round — which will either launch and make their careers in classical piano, their chosen profession, or send them back to their disappointed families to figure out some other path on their own. The film became the number 1 documentary in Korea and has made more than $700,000 in box office worldwide.
