My name is Bryce Mackie and I've been making films for over 20 years. I graduated from Columbia College Chicago in 2013 with a major in Film Directing. I enjoy making films that have a positive social impact with the goal of improving the quality of people's lives. I've received 25 film festival awards for films I've have made including a documentary tilted Eternal High. That film provided the opportunity for me to give over 100 speeches nationally on the subject of mental illness as well as appearances on National Public Radio, Moving Pictures Magazine and receiving a national award by Eli Lilly Corporation for reducing the stigma of mental illness.
My goal is to create films that allow for healing.
