Healing Through Story
Saltstar is a media studio founded by Anne Hamilton.
We create films, media, and experiences that help people heal and make meaning out of rupture.
Our work sits at the intersection of storytelling and transformation. We translate lived experience, especially around loss, and identity disruption, into narrative frameworks that help people understand what has happened and how to move forward.
Built on a foundation in film, law and narrative strategy, Saltstar expands beyond traditional media into retreats, education, and community-based experiences designed to support transformation in real time.
We are not just telling stories.
We are building the systems people need to live them.
What We Believe
Story is how human beings make meaning from uncertainty, grief, and change.
Saltstar exists to create and support stories that create avenues of resilience.
