Susan Packal
Founder & Principal
Susan spent 20 years as an operational leader, and it was that experience that led her to the story she couldn't find anywhere else. She founded High Desert Media to tell it, and to keep finding the ones nobody else is telling.
We make documentaries about real people. We're hands-on from research through final cut.
If you have something real to say, we'll help you say it on film. Honest, high-quality production that connects, without the fluff.
A four-part documentary series that puts the story of legal operations on film for the first time.
