Setara Mckenzie Email & Phone Number

As an enthusiast of film and mass media, I am devoted to the art of storytelling through the medium of writing, directing, video production, editing and media manipulation. Some of my experience includes working as an intern for Cycle Fever TV LLC. During my time there I provided crew support with camera set-up/breakdown, directed and kept time for cast throughout the live show, operated TriCaster Advance Software and Switchboard for live broadcast, switched between three live camera feeds, show segments, and commercial breaks, supervised/monitored set behavior, and assured all cast and crew were prepared and in proper place prior to filming.I have worked on film projects which include being a writer/cinematographer for Campus Movie Fest. This is a Florida festival where filmmakers have 3 days to film and complete a short film. This experience allowed me to showcase my time management skills, leadership qualities, ability to work under pressure and in groups, and successfully write, cast, direct and work on cinematography. I also participated in Fusion Fest MYGration Films, where I was paired with a local Orlando businessowner and given five days to create a documentary centered around their business and the culture in which it brings to the city. I worked on this project alone and completed the tasks of recording, editing, filming, directing, importing and syncing audio, as well as conducting the interview and conducting a long-lasting relationship with the interviewee. I also devoted time to working on my own personal project, Blackspeed, which was a short documentary style film that I shot in Harlem, New York. The piece was dedicated to highlighting the truths and heart of the black community in Harlem, aiming to pinpoint and discover how it feels to be black in America.In my free time, I help film the Drama Production Program at Liberty Middle School. In this role, I create theatrical reels, contribute footage towards morning announcements, record rehearsals, behind the scenes footage and performances, all while following proper and appropriate stage policies when working with minors. Throughout all of my projects, I always aim to promote the expansion of our perspectives on life, through the production of stellar work in the form of art. My heart is dedicated to aid people in feeling and gaining knowledge and understanding through art forms. Art is a language that I love to speak and translate very well. I am suitably equipped with the expertise needed to generate polished and productive creative spaces/projects.
