I'm Ellis, a student filmmaker and Media Production major at the University of Dayton. I started making short films in my hometown, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, as something to do in my free time. Today, I continue to film what I am passionate about and brainstorm my next project . Along the way, I have gained experience in writing, directing, lighting, cinematography, and editing from class and on film sets.
