I’m Bridget, a storyteller, writer, filmmaker, and photographer from Nebraska. I’ve been writing and telling stories from the moment I could pick up a pencil, and from a young age I started documenting and crafting stories about the people and communities I was a part of with a pen and a camera. In 2018, I moved to New York to pursue a career as a cinematographer and gained experience on set as a camera operator and assistant on commercials, documentaries, and narrative projects. I’ve worked on productions like Showtime’s series “Couple’s Therapy,” Amazon’s short series “Always Jane,” Discovery’s “Holy Heist,” and Hulu’s “The Jinx.”

I’m most passionate about projects that center on subjects who are underrepresented in media and characters who break assumptions and stereotypes. My personal work has been described as dreamy and ethereal, I’m forever writing about and creating work that pertains to the process of grief, loneliness, and the quiet spaces in which we make peace with those things. Outside of storytelling, the thing I love most being on the road — driving, making photos, meeting people, and slowly observing. I’m currently developing multiple short documentary projects, working on perfecting my Spanish, and creating useful items in my ceramics practice.

I’m currently based in Mexico City and New York, and am available for hire + willing to travel, always.
