Merchant seaman, geologist, medic, photographer, chef…
Tova’s career trajectory towards filmmaking is as layered and experiential as the stories she likes to tell. Always curious and passionate to see, do and learn, she is inspired by connecting with eclectic people, places and ideas.
Her films frame original, character-driven narratives with perceptive imagery to reflect nuanced relationships between communities, cultures and environments — like she, herself, seeks.
In 2022, Tova pitched Fire Tower at the Available Light Film Festival (ALFF) where she was awarded the jury-selected prize for production funding. She incorporated Underwire Films to make the documentary.
In 2021, Tova’s short film Harashama earned her the Emerging Artist jury prize at the Dawson City International Film Festival’s 48 Hour Film Challenge.
Tova has lived in New York City, Redwood forests and is currently stationed in the Yukon, Canada.
