Maria Jordan

I’m a Director with experience in both narrative filmmaking and documentary. Most recently, I directed and produced a documentary about women surfing through Boston’s brutal winters, a project that challenged me both creatively and logistically, forcing me to lead with intention, empathy, and grit. From concept to final cut, I handled everything like casting to on-location production, deepening my ability to lead a project with intention, empathy, and clarity.

Simultaneously, I worked as an Assistant Director on a narrative project at Boston University, where I honed my ability to anticipate needs, run smooth sets, and keep production on track without losing sight of the creative energy. My skills have also allowed me to support crews and other independent projects as a production assistant, script supervisor, and prop master.

My internships at Grandview, Boston Casting, and JBella Media sharpened my research skills, industry insight, and editorial precision. Whether I’m managing logistics, refining story ideas, or collaborating on set, I bring focus, creativity, and a deep respect for the collaborative process that filmmaking demands.
