John Touhey directing Joosje Duk and T. Cat Ford in Humans and Trees. “Through the sculpting of words and images, I tell stories that move and motivate audiences—from indie films to promotional shorts and web documentaries. I bring extensive experience in digital cinematography, editing, and color correction to new projects, along with an ability to inspire and energize creative collaborators. Thanks to my background in theatre, I have an excellent rapport with actors and interview subjects.”
