    Tona at Bigbite

    I love creating visually.  Bigbite Productions is a platform for multimedia work, where I can do what I love.  This operation is small and flexible, and I create unique, customized solutions for my clients.  If a project needs a larger creative team, I selectively bring in experts from my network of collaborators. 

    Visual Ethnography

    My background as a researcher and teacher helps me as a filmmaker, particularly with documentary projects.  My Ph.D. work (Sociology 2006, UW-Madison) focused on ethnography and visual methods.  Nowadays, I love to wade into seemingly chaotic environments and, in the field and in the editing room, tease out a coherent narrative to create a compelling artistic piece.
