Amy Perez
Writer & Documentary Filmmaker
Amy believes in the quiet power of authentic storytelling and its ability to change hearts, open minds, and spark curiosity about the world around us.
As a storyteller and documentary filmmaker, she uses both her voice and her lens to amplify the experiences of everyday people doing extraordinary things. Her work has appeared in Scuba Diving Magazine, Hawai‘i Magazine, and on PBS.
With master’s degrees in education and biology, Amy brings a thoughtful blend of scientific insight and emotional depth to every project. Whether she’s documenting underwater missions in the Pacific or capturing quiet moments of generational wisdom, her goal remains the same: to inspire connection, lead with compassion, and tell stories that matter.

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 live in Virginia Beach with their little apprentice Ava, happily close to family and the ocean they love. They continue to create, explore, and tell stories that matter.
