VIDEO PROJECTS

Beth has had many incredible opportunities to work independently and collaboratively with organizations and people across the country, producing, writing, filming and editing videos with the intention of telling stories in their most authentic voice. Most recently, she has been working in the US House of Representatives filming and editing videos as well as teaching video editing classes for staff as a part of a non partisan coach office within the Chief Administrative Office. In her spare time she seeks out freelance and passion projects with a focus in conservation or topics close to her heart. She's also had the chance to create videos and TV broadcast segments with Maryland Public Television/PBS, the National Park Service, Waterkeepers Chesapeake, National Geographic, Coral & Oak Studios, Natural Grocers, and Wedfuly among many others. Thanks for watching!

Toxic Coal Ash: A Virginia Community's Response

Possum Point is a sleepy rural mid income community of families and retired military folks who live a simple life along Quantico Creek and the Potomac River. Dan and Patty Marrow, chose to raise their three children on Possum Point Road because they believed it was a safe, wholesome community. Little did they know that carcinogens had been leaching from toxic coal ash ponds owned by the nearby Dominion Power Plant through ground water, slowly poisoning their drinking wells. In 2015, Potomac Riverkeeper Dean Naujoks began working with the community and investigating the toxic coal ash pollution. This is their story. This video is part of Waterkeepers Chesapeake's Clean Water Act Playbook project for communities facing water pollution threats.

Housing Development Causes Flooding: A Patuxent River Community's Story

The historic community of Odenton, Maryland, has been dealing with extreme flooding over the years caused by the construction of a huge poorly planned and regulated housing development. Cathy Fleshman and Jim Holman tell their story of flooding and destruction on their properties and in their community, and give advice on what communities can do when faced with this problem. Patuxent Riverkeeper Fred Tutman gives an overview of the fast-paced construction of housing developments occurring in the Patuxent River watershed. Polluted stormwater from urban and suburban areas is the fastest growing source of water pollution in the Chesapeake Bay region. Fred explains how the Clean Water Act comes into play in local zoning decisions.
