The Team
Director - Jenna Winters is an award-winning journalist with over 25 years experience. Jenna began her career as a newspaper and local television news reporter and anchor. As her career evolved, she went on to produce television for multiple national networks and specialized in investigative reporting and true crime. Jenna holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of New Mexico and a master’s degree in journalism from Northwestern University. While spending the bulk of her career at the longtime Fox hit series, America’s Most Wanted, Jenna learned how to take even the most gut-wrenching story and turn it into an emotional story about a human, instead of a story about a crime. For that, she earned a reputation for creating pieces that go straight to the heart. Jenna is a proud New Mexico native and member of the Santa Clara Pueblo Indigenous tribe. Jenna knew she wanted to be a journalist from a young age when she’d spy on the camera crews that visited her home on a regular basis to interview her father – sculptor Michael Naranjo. It has been her life-long dream to take a turn telling her mother and father’s story. She feels there is no one on Earth better equipped to give a unique and deep perspective to this story.
Director of Photography - Bill Stengel grew up in the wilds of the suburbs outside New York City. When he was 12, his dad gave him a Canon AE-1 to keep him occupied while the two worked on the Finback, a whale watch boat out of Montauk. Long days, often 100 miles offshore in search of whales, Bill explored the Finback with the camera in hand. He has a B.F.A. in photography from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn.
The latest incarnation of his career has him working as a DP/Director on commercial motion projects ranging from corporate bank testimonials to making content for Land Rover to following fishermen throughout Northern Nevada for Outside Magazine.

Consulting producer - Evan A. Marshall, p.g.a - knew early in life that telling stories through film and video would be his passion. 30 years later, technology has evolved, but his dedication to this industry remains as strong as ever. Evan learned the art of storytelling while producing for more than a decade for the iconic FOX television series America’s Most Wanted. Evan moved to the documentary film world in 2009, directing his first feature-length film, chronicling the road unheralded college football players must traverse to realize their dream of playing in the NFL. His film, Late Rounders, earned Best in Festival – Best Documentary honors at the DC Independent Film Festival and Evan won the Best New Filmmaker Award. The film also screened in Atlanta and Los Angeles. After producing content for corporate leaders like Google and Amtrak, Evan moved into the world of new media in the museum environment. Evan has produced award-winning content for the likes of the San Francisco 49ers, the New England Patriots, the Muhammad Ali Center and the National Baseball Hall of Fame. When he’s not working, Evan will usually be found at a sporting event or doing something active with his wife Alison and dog Mollie.
