Director Biography - Daniel Colella

My passion for Filmmaking began in high school during an intro course at Norfolk Academy. After graduating in 2016, I started attending the College of Charleston where I received a BA in English/Film Studies and was the President of the College's Film Club and a Video Producer for the Campus Media Organization, CisternYard Media. Currently, I am an MFA candidate in the School of Film and Television at LMU.
