Amy Perez
Documentary Filmmaker
Amy Perez is an award winning documentary filmmaker drawn to stories of quiet strength and shared humanity. She uses both her voice and her lens to amplify everyday people doing extraordinary things, and believes authentic storytelling can change hearts, open minds, and spark curiosity about the world.
With master’s degrees in education and biology and a background in sociology, Amy brings scientific curiosity and emotional depth to every project. Extensive travel and expeditionary fieldwork, from underwater missions in the Pacific to quiet moments of generational wisdom, shape how she connects with each story. Her goal remains the same: to lead with compassion and tell stories that matter.
Christopher Perez

Christopher has spent more than two decades capturing the essence of human resilience around the world. A Navy Diver and combat photographer, his images have been published in major global publications including GQ and Smithsonian Magazine.
A lifelong adventurer with a deep sense of wanderlust, he brings a forward-thinking, creative approach to his work. His photojournalistic style is shaped by years of exploration and a passion for storytelling, especially in remote and underserved communities. Through his lens, Christopher seeks out untold stories, documenting moments of strength, resilience, and hope that transcend borders and inspire change.
Our Story
For more than a decade, Chris and Amy Perez have traveled the world together in search of adventure, discovery, and meaningful connection. As best friends and life partners, their shared experiences shaped a deep passion for storytelling and a commitment to living life on their own terms.
In 2020, they turned that passion into action and founded Media Evolve, a platform dedicated to creating and sharing stories that inspire.
Today Chris and Amy split their time between Virginia and Florida with their little apprentice, Ava — close to family, and to the ocean they love. They continue to create, explore, and tell stories that matter.
