Born and raised in rural Appalachia, Brooklyn-based filmmaker Ethan Romaine seeks to use the sum of his experiences to tell human stories that show us all what we have in common rather than what sets us apart.

Beginning with his NYU Tisch Thesis, "Lovers Leap," Romaine's indie miniseries 301 Stories has screened at festivals around the country, including the Maryland Film Festival, Cinema on The Bayou (Audience Award), and NYU First Run (Craft Award for Producing and Acting).

In addition to his narrative work, Ethan directs and edits commercial and marketing content for brands and companies nationwide. His latest project is, "Mountain Punk Arts," a short documentary about a non-profit Punk rock art organization in a rural mountain town.
