About Redbird
After 15 years working in journalism, documentary and nonprofit fundraising, Suzi started Redbird Media Group in 2014. Since then, she's gratefully collaborated with local artists in the film and video industries.
In late 2019, Suzi and Christian crossed paths on a Redbird project for Maine Community Foundation. When Suzi thanked Christian for lending a hand on set, their conversation quickly settled into talking gear, storytelling and travels.
Those initial sparks of friendship ignited a creative partnership. In early 2020, Suzi invited Christian to traverse the icy Maine rivers to capture Atlantic salmon preservation. There's nothing like passing expensive gear over open water while wearing waders to build trust! Christian joined Redbird full-time in 2021.
