Hello, I’m Bella!

I am a filmmaker and visual storyteller working across narrative and commercial projects, blending creative instinct with technical precision.

My primary focus is direction and story. Whether I am supporting a production, contributing to visual development, working hands-on behind the camera, or writing screenplays, my goal is always the same: to build emotionally grounded work that feels intentional, immersive, and authentic.

Alongside film, my background in illustration and concept art informs how I approach visual development, tone, and atmosphere. I am especially drawn to projects that value mood, subtext, and character driven storytelling, both in narrative films and in brand-driven work.

I am pursuing opportunities in film direction, visual development, and art direction for brands, while remaining open to production roles that allow me to grow on set and learn from working professionals. I am passionate for the process that goes into telling a story.

Based in Ohio, I hold a BA in Film Production and Digital Art from Bowling Green State University. I have collaborated with marketing agencies, non-profits, and independent artists on short-form content, commercials, music videos, and narrative shorts. I have led crews of 20+ on set, developed content strategies for brands entering short-form platforms, and written and directed multiple narrative projects.

Beyond making the work itself, I enjoy shaping the strategy behind it. I believe strong storytelling, whether for film or for brands, has the power to create lasting emotional connection and a clear visual identity.
