I'm Ellis, a senior at the University of Dayton. I am currently majoring in Media Production with a minor in Film Studies. I have a deep passion for filmmaking and storytelling, with a specific interest in lighting and visual design. 

I am currently working on a student documentary covering the foster care system in Ohio and stories behind it. I hope to find a career in as a Director of Photography or Video Editor one day, but am love to have any position on a film set!
