One of her other big missions is to install viewers with a sense of magic, wonder and hope that exists in the every day world through her performances, filmmaking, and writing. The very same things that drew her to movies in the first place, and helped shape some of her views.
Savannah places great importance on a collaborative approach in all of her projects, and actively seeks to work with like minded artists who share her passion for representation, magic, and truth.
Vision

Savannah views acting as a truthful space without inhibition. A space where you are allowed to play and explore all sides of humanity, the ‘good’ just as much as the ‘bad’. It is her goal to instil this very truth within any aspect of her future work, and to portray that for which we have no words.
