Sarah Ettman, Principal/Writer/Producer, Nuvigreen Productions
When I’m not in the Nuvigreen Production office creating amazing content, you can find me at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History Sea Center. I work there as a Marine Ecologist and Naturalist. It’s a great place to “keep my gills wet!”
“ Bula! That’s Fijiian for “hello.”
I love producing original content for clients that's creative and accurate in representing their product or service. I also enjoy documentary film-making about people and the natural world. It’s a sensory experience that’s the perfect combination of visual, audio and written communication. What's cool about making videos and PSAs is that they are a useful vehicle that provides a teachable moment for positive change.
Writing is my forte. Some of my favorite topics are the ocean environment, healthcare, biotechnology, human-interest stories, interviews, and testimonials - anything that offers me an opportunity to learn/write about new subjects. I incorporate my own proprietary blend of education and entertainment, aka "edutainment." I am honored to work with clients, both small and large, who put their trust in me to represent their brand and image in the best possible light.”
