About Me
My processes of experiencing and communicating via documentary film is intended as a multidimensional exploration for both the filmmaker and the audience. I aim to bring the viewer into worlds where they can experience places, people and issues anew, whether through the scope or angle of representation. I am a woman from the Global South, of mixed-race, exposed to various religious traditions, and also a literal and figurative migrant, traversing the boundaries and intersections of different groups and cultures. Constantly examining my positionality and how it shapes my perception and representation, I aim to approach characters and issues with sensitivity, empathy, and with due consideration of ethics and the implications of the filmmaking process for all involved.

About Me
Drew Swedberg is a documentary filmmaker, cinematographer, and teacher. He is currently an independent filmmaker for a non-profit, a freelance cinematographer, and a teacher of youth documentary filmmaking.
Drew got his start in short, narrative work as a cinematographer, graduating from Muhlenberg College in 2017 with a degree in English and Film Studies. He was one of the first students to graduate with the collaborative LVAIC Documentary Storymaking minor. In the Fall of 2016, he spent a semester specializing in cinematography at the Film and Television School of Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, shooting a short narrative project on Super 16 film. At Muhlenberg, Drew was the co-founder of an interdisciplinary, student-led production team that was organized around visual storytelling, the exploration of different production roles, and the sharing of resources and knowledge.
In the Summer of 2016, Drew was accepted into a MILA (Muhlenberg Integrated Learning Abroad) course with the intention of creating a documentary on community sustainability. It was here, with his debut documentary film, Ciento un Años, that he made the transition to documentary work, finding his niche in a style of filmmaking that is engaged with the relationship between the filmmaker and the community. Both as a filmmaker and a teacher, Drew is interested in the role of education in the community and how communities invest in their young people.
Drew is currently working in Allentown on a social media documentary series called Our Allentown, following the community-led effort to cure youth violence. He is a basketball coach and volunteer at Jefferson Elementary School. He is also advocating, organizing, and coordinating an effort to create a Community Media Center in Allentown.
