Hi there, my name is Sarah Michelle Kuck. I am a documentary director and producer focused on stories that drive change. I specialize in human-centered narratives on climate justice, equity, and resilience, collaborating globally to amplify impactful voices.

I founded Present Medium in 2017 to lead and build local and international productions. For eight years, we have partnered with filmmakers in cities like Athens, Mumbai, Sydney, and Rome to create powerful media that truly connects with our audience, our community.
