Hi, I'm Madelynn Shores! I'm a hard-working and detail-oriented individual with a passion for film production, editing, and acting. With over two years of experience in film and video editing, I've had the chance to produce and co-produce multiple student films, manage production schedules and budgets, and even work on-set as a unit production manager and locations manager. I love working creatively with Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve to bring stories to life. I also have a strong background in music and theater, having performed in various plays and musicals since childhood. Beyond filmmaking, I've managed social media accounts and gained experience in hair and makeup for film productions. I am eager to keep learning and contributing to creative projects that inspire and engage audiences.
