SAVANNAH BLOCH, CO-WRITER, PRODUCER, AND DIRECTOR OF "AND THEN THERE WAS EVE"
Savannah Bloch is an American/South African filmmaker and graduate of the USC school of Cinematic Arts. Savannah began her career shooting and directing promotional content for non-profits and start-up companies around the world. This type of work led her to the townships of South Africa; interviews with natives Bolivians and to Jordan, where she filmed children of the Syrian war receive serious medical attention. Savannah also worked during this time as a freelance cinematographer, combining her love of travel, culture, cameras and storytelling into a unique and pivotal experience. After this glimpse into global affairs, Savannah returned to Los Angeles armed with a handful of stories and a new perspective to focus on narrative directing. In 2012, she directed “Sister Cities” as part of the Hollywood Fringe festival. There she met AND THEN THERE WAS EVE co-writer, Colette Freedman. The show had four sold out performances and rave reviews demonstrating a new found talent for the stage. Savannah's feature film directorial debut, AND THEN THERE WAS EVE, premiered in 2017 at the Los Angeles Film Festival and took home the LA Muse Jury Award. Currently Savannah is directing a feature music documentary called CAVES AND CATHEDRALS following singer/songwriter Kerry Hart and a one-woman show about Sikhs in the U.S. post 9/11 called RAGHEAD. She is also a producer/shooter for Hearst Digital Media's Facebook show Best LA.

Savannah co-founded and currently runs a weekly director’s workshop in Hollywood called The Sandbox LA. In addition to powerful storytelling, Savannah is passionate about social innovation, feminism, surfing and veganism. Savannah works locally in Los Angeles, Barcelona, San Diego and Cape Town.
