About Paige
Paige McKenna Grube is an award-winning documentary filmmaker currently located in Green Bay, Wisconsin. She attended film school in San Diego and graduated with a bachelor's degree in 2013. From there she moved to Green Bay to work as a Production Coordinator and has worked as a Producer/Editor in the Green Bay area over the years. Her experience has varied from working in corporate video as a Producer for Kohler Co in Sheboygan, to working for independent commercial advertising agencies.
Paige's second film, GOLD, is a documentary exploring the lives of four current dancers and the owner of the Gold Nugget strip club in Spread Eagle, Wisconsin. The film focuses heavily on Dusty's story, who was a dancer in the 90s. She has owned the club for 30 years, and runs the club in a way that empowers women, guiding them to further education, encourages them toward sobriety, and offers respect and support through unconditional (and sometimes tough) love. Each of these women have unique and different pasts that landed them in the industry, but each of their stories are relatable to women everywhere. Both inspiring and at times, heartbreaking, GOLD offers a unique perspective into the world of women who work at this particular club in this rural part of the US.
Paige's first film, Seeds of Life, was shot on location in Haiti and the Dominican Republic in February 2020. The film explores the incredible work that Maria Marciano is doing for the people in the border area. Through agriculture, education, and the fundamental necessity of water she has made generational impacts in her 25 years there.
