We’re thrilled to welcome a powerful new voice to our talent team: Masha Karpoukhina, a multi-award-winning director, cinematographer, and editor whose work champions environmental justice through stunning, urgent storytelling.

As National Rivers Month comes to a close and environmental protections face growing threats, we’re proud to spotlight Masha’s recent film for CalWild, a call to defend over 6,000 miles of rivers across California.

At FORWARD storystudio, we believe stories can move people to action. Masha’s work is proof of that, and we’re honored to have her on our team.

Tell us: what rivers have shaped your life?
