EPICENTER

Four Feet Away is a personal project filmed in my local high desert community of Joshua Tree, CA. The film highlights the inspiring story of veteran Delissa Chase. Motivated by her own life challenges, Delissa created a sanctuary in the Mojave Desert for abused horses, as well as a safe haven for local Marines and others in the community dealing with PTSD and mental health struggles.

The film is an official selection of the 2025 Palm Springs ShortsFest and won top honors at the 2024 Yucca Valley Film Festival.

If you’d like to support Delissa’s work at Whispering Sands Horse Sanctuary, you can make a tax-deductible donation at wssanctuary.org or meet the horses on Instagram.
