I write my heart out.
I think. A lot.
I thrive on adventures.
I direct in service to the story.
I live for stories that say something meaningful.
I love the full and complicated spectrum of the human experience.
I believe that films are societies' modern myth:
I want to contribute accordingly.
Joseph Campbell is my co-pilot.

Erin Cantelo is known for her work on Good Girls Revolt (2015), Oprah and Rainn Wilson Present SoulPancake (2012) and Anatomy of Numbers (2008).
