I'm Riley. I make documentaries. 

From documentary films, to branded content, to commercials, my love of people is at the heart of everything I do. 

My forthcoming feature, VESTIBULE, has received support from the 2024 Sundance Documentary Fund, was selected for the 2025 Sundance Documentary Edit Residency, and won the 2024 Points North Pitch as well as the 2023 Ji.hlava U.S. New Visions Pitch. My award-winning short docs have screened at festivals across the U.S. and internationally, including Hot Docs, Camden, and DOC NYC. My films have appeared on The New York Times Op Docs, Vimeo Staff Picks, Short of the Week, and The New Yorker. 

I am based in New York's Hudson Valley. I freelance as a director and editor, am a member of the Brooklyn Filmmakers Collective, and originally moved to NYC more than a decade ago to intern at Maysles Films with legendary documentary filmmaker Albert Maysles.
