Caroline Smith, 34

Caroline Smith and her husband and business partner, Evan, were part of the filmmaking team responsible for “St. Pete Unfiltered,” a documentary about the city of St. Petersburg’s much-maligned approach to sewage treatment that has resulted in millions of gallons of untreated waste dumped into the waters of Tampa Bay and the surrounding waters.

Smith says she went “full throttle,” on the film, putting in 12- to 14-hour days as its executive producer, director and writer. The film won an award in January at the Gasparilla International Film Festivaly, and will be screened early next year at the Dunedin International Film Festival.

When she’s not out holding local politicians’ feet to the fire, however, Smith runs a successful photography business, Smith Creative LLC. It specializes in boutique, highly personalized wedding photo services. Running her own business suits Smith fine.
