Documentary in progress…

We are working with Jena Burchick, a Capital Emmy award winning filmmaker and Assistant Professor at Towson University. She received her MFA in Film from Vermont College of Fine Arts.

Her work has exhibited in film festivals and galleries both nationally and internationally including a broadcast premiere of her short “The Local Oyster Stout” on Maryland Public Television. 

Her feature length directorial debut, “Mom & M” recently screened at the 2021 Maryland Film Festival as one of only 20 selected features and was awarded ‘Excellence” by Docs Without Borders. Mom & M is a documentary exploring the complexities of family dynamics while investigating themes related to gender, sexuality, trauma and marginalization. 

Additionally, she works professionally as an IATSE 487 Studio Mechanic and Gaffer for commercial, episodic television and feature films such as House of Cards and Jason Bourne, as well as lighting President Obama during his administration.
