Lara Tomov, Director/Founder of “Stories for Action”, a Media Hub for Positive Change

Lara Tomov has always been drawn to sharing experiences with others to connect people and place. She has worked in the film and television world for over a decade, primarily as a cinematographer. This work has taken her around the world, from peaks to ocean depths, for documentaries and television networks such as Discovery and Travel Channel. She has also worked with organizations such as The Nature Conservancy and Environment America. Last year she started up her own media brand, “Stories for Action”, with a mission to use visual and audio storytelling to create connections for healthy environments and communities to thrive.  She has since moved home to the mountains of Montana, where she is focusing her work for the next year. Lara has a BA in Film from Emerson College and a Graduate Certificate in Sustainable Systems from UCLA.
