Having the ability to complete a film that starts as a few simple sheets of paper is a privilege I will never take for granted.

Michelle Elise Harding is an award-winning cinematographer, film editor, and producer. Born and raised in New Jersey, Harding fell in love with the film and television industries at an early age due to her proximity to New York City. She has an array of work, spanning from narrative filmmaking (short and feature), performance videos, music videos, commercials, live sports, and live broadcasting/television.
Right out of college, Harding had the opportunity to work for Grammy award-winning artist Miri Ben-Ari as her videographer, video editor, and production/talent coordinator from 2014 until early 2016. She was also the Director of Operations of Ben-Ari’s not-for-profit organization, Gedenk Movement, in 2015. Harding worked alongside Ben-Ari with companies such as Scholastic, YouTube, and the Huffington Post. This took Harding to venues such as Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden, and YouTube Studios NYC.
Harding was a videographer for double-A affiliates of the New York Yankees, the Trenton Thunder, for the 2015 and 2016 seasons. This was the first time she had the opportunity to gain live television experience. She learned how to work in a fast-paced environment and fell in love with the thought that live television has no second chances to capture the perfect image.
Harding was also the videographer and video editor for the tech-startup Fashion Mingle, a networking platform for fashion industry professionals. She covered several seasons at New York Fashion Week from 2014 until 2016, creating online video content by filming and editing fashion shows and designer interviews.
Prior to moving to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in 2016, Harding was the director of photography, executive producer, and film editor on award-winning short film, “Spark.” She has continued to pursue filmmaking by creating short films “Among the Stars” and her latest film “The Farmhand” in South Carolina, as well as working on several others.
Collaboration is key for Harding. The possibilities are endless through the power of community, which is why Harding founded the Myrtle Beach Film Community and co-founded MESH Films, LLC with her mother, Shari Harding.
Harding has since re-located back to the tri-state area, where she plans to continue working with others that have the same drive for creating and bringing words to life through film.
Cinematography, editing, and producing are Harding’s true passions, and she is grateful to be able to implement them every day in her work.
