I have known Amie Williams for over 20 years and cannot recommend her enough!
She is an accomplished non-fiction Producer/Director with decades of experience.
Super-capable and smart, she passionately goes where there is an untold story to be told ...MORE... , even if it means challenging or impossible conditions. She shoots, writes, directs and is extremely organized and versatile, but the best thing about Amie is she has a strong sense of story, how to unpack it ways that are fresh and creative.
She is also a team player and easy to work with, totally dedicated to getting the job done.
Any team would be lucky to have her.
