Rachel’s Network - We See You
directed, FILMED & EDITED BY KAIA ROSe
This video was created to launch the Rachel’s Network Catalyst Award, a new initiative to provide women leaders of color support and recognition for their commitment to a healthy planet. I had the pleasure of interviewing Maite Arce of the Hispanic Access Foundation in DC, Rhea Suh of NRDC in New York, and Angelou Ezeilo of Greening Youth Foundation in Atlanta, editing their stories together to create a script that supports the ethos behind the Catalyst Award and encourages a more diverse environmental movement.
Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition
written & directed BY KAIA ROSE, animated by dani tinez
Working with the communications team from the Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition (CPLC) at the World Bank, Dani Tinez and I created a style for a series of videos that could be used to promote CPLC events, highlight Carbon Pricing Leaders, and amplify key messages and priorities of the coalition. Using a combination of footage that I have filmed with clips from the CPLC archive, I generally edit together a script and then collaborate with Dani to create a plan for the animation.
UN Global Compact - Global Goals in Action
directed, Filmed & EDITED BY KAIA ROSE
The UN Global Compact wanted to create a series of videos celebrating the business leaders in their network taking strong action towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. When they held their annual SDG Business Forum in Summer 2018, I filmed interviews at the UNTV studios with key CEOs and Sustainability Chiefs from companies attending the summit. Editing these stories together with B-Roll from the Forum and footage from the companies’ archives, these videos aim to help inspire other companies to join the UN Global Compact and engage a new audience on how business is supporting the UN’s Agenda 2030.

350.org - Climate, Jobs & Justice NYC Forum
directed, edited & filmed BY KAIA ROSE
As part of 350's Divest New York movement, I was asked to film a Forum where the New York City Advocate and Comptroller were invited to talk to citizens about the city's commitment to divest from fossil fuels. After filming the 3 hour event along with interviews, I edited together a video that told the story of the evening and was used by 350 to promote their Divestment campaign.

A feature film shot in the UK, The Fold is about Anglican priest Rebecca Ashton who, struggling with her grief, tries to replace her deceased daughter with another girl. I accompanied the production on location in Cornwall and Bristol as a one-woman band, conducting and filming all interviews myself and then creating two Behind-the-Scenes films for the London-based production house, Electric Shadow Company.
ArthurCox - Making of 8 minutes idle
directed and edited by kaia rose
Based upon Matt Thorne's award-winning novel about life in a call centre, 8 minutes idle is a warped urban comedy about what it really means to put your life 'on hold'. This low budget feature was produced by Sarah Cox and directed by Mark Simon Hewis, funded as part of Creative England's iFeatures scheme. The film was shot entirely on location in Bristol and I joined them on set to create the official Behind-the-Scenes film.
ArthurCox - Making of A Time Traveller's Guide to Bristol
directed and edited by kaia rose
A Time Traveller's Guide to Bristol is a digital archive project produced by ArthurCox that focuses on seven locations in the city of Bristol, looking at how they've evolved over the last 100 years. Drawing upon footage found in the BBC archives, the Bristol City Council Archives and donated by the citizens of Bristol, this was a unique and extensive project that deserved a comprehensive Behind-the-Scenes film.
