Dakota La Croix’s MERAKI-filled cinematic audio and video creations are sparked by a radical curiosity that seeks to explore storytelling and story listening as an invitation beyond the traditional narrative story structures and styles in hopes of evoking the spirit, wonder, and poetry of our relationships to space as it transmutes into place.

His creative adventures have inspired him to document people for nearly a year on foot in America and Canada, create audio content while living in a disaster zone, and cultivate projects in various mediums that explore meaningful relationships and intimate stories to nature and one another through various collaborations and experiments.

As a freelance creative and consultant, his work has appeared at major film festivals; with audio and voice work finding life for foundations, non-profits, the FM dial, and national television to name a few.
