Brooke Raines is a filmmaker, photographer, and writer passionate about creating impact-driven media at the intersection of people and the planet.

 

Feeling most alive and at home in the outdoors, you will often find Brooke immersed in rugged environments with her camera in tow. She has spent extended periods of time filming in remote and dynamic conditions, including at sea and in the backcountry, both locally and abroad. Brooke’s experience ranges from documentary and branded storytelling to expedition, action sport, and commercial photography.

 

Seeing storytelling as a vital catalyst for driving real-world change, Brooke focuses her career on amplifying the work of individuals and organizations creating positive change, whether the cameras are rolling or not. In 2022, she directed Boundary Spanning, a docu-series with the non-profit 4 Walls International and Patagonia Cardiff that sheds light on frontline communities restoring the Tijuana Estuary in Mexico and the U.S.

 

She is pursuing a Master’s in Environmental Anthropology at University College London while building a media platform focused on place-based, collaborative environmental storytelling.
