S-R loves travel and adventure. When shooting her thesis film she brought a cast and crew of 30 to the middle of the desert, and they all primitive-camped while making the film. Despite a freak flood, causing immediate evacuation of their camp, everyone survived and the film was made. She visits somewhere new every year, usually while rugged camping.
She is currently developing her narrative feature, I-80 WEST, a post-apocalyptic road movie about two strangers racing from NYC to Salt Lake City to find their families after a supervirus wipes out most of humanity. It was a finalist for the Richard Vague production grant.
