Whole Blood (Documentary)
Leading the development of Whole Blood from initial concept through production, shaping both the creative vision and execution across all phases. Directing storytelling, visual language, and on the ground production to create a cohesive, emotionally impactful narrative rooted in real-life urgency and human connection.
Our Story (The Why)
What began as a beautiful home birth of our third daughter quickly turned into a moment that nearly took my life. Shortly after delivery, Michelle experienced a severe postpartum hemorrhage and lost 4.6 liters of blood — nearly her body’s entire supply. As she went into hemorrhagic shock in the ambulance, she remember asking if she was going to die, and fighting to stay awake for our three daughters.
Because Fort Bend EMS had access to pre-hospital whole blood, she received a transfusion before she reached the hospital, and that intervention is the reason she am here today. Most ambulances in this country don’t carry blood, and preventable deaths happen every day because of it. That reality has become deeply personal, and it’s what drives our mission to bring awareness to the need for nationwide access to pre-hospital blood.

LIVES SAVED
Number of lives saved is an estimate which reflects the knowledge that one unit of donated blood can be used to save as many as three lives.
