Her visual aesthetic is fueled by collaboration, empathy and intention.  Ever curious and always looking to learn, she is eager to welcome new challenges. 

In 2023, she had two feature films released theatrically. MENDING THE LINE (director Joshua Caldwell) and THE OTHER ZOEY (director Sara Zandieh).  They can be found streaming online (and on airplanes!) now. 

At heart Eve is a storyteller, across all mediums.  She established herself as a pioneer in Virtual Reality filmmaking with THE VISITOR (AFI 2016, SFiFF 2016) and HARD WORLD FOR SMALL THINGS (Sundance 2016, Tribeca 2016). Her position as an innovator in this new frontier led her to ASHE ‘68 (Sundance 2019, Tribeca 2019) nominated for a Sports Emmy in 2019, and speaking on many panels and classrooms.  Most recently she filmed DOJA CAT: SCARLET TOUR for Meta, a multi-camera stereoscopic immersive experience, released Jan 2024.
When not on set with scripted features or exploring emerging technologies with VR/AR/XR, she involves herself with select documentaries focusing on social justice or the human experience.  She has traveled all over the world filming documentary stories for Google, The United Nations, New Balance, Qualcomm and more.
