The People Behind The Work
I'm Mitchell, a filmmaker based in Indianapolis. I've spent over ten years filming people on some of the biggest days of their lives.
I've always been fascinated by what people do and how they go about doing it. You can learn a lot about someone just by watching them work, and most of the time, nobody else gets to see it.
These films are my excuse to slow down and watch the process, and the person behind it.

How It Works
A film about you and your work, made by spending time with you.
Christine, a wedding coordinator in Indianapolis.
No script. No recreating things for the camera. I spend time watching you work, getting to know you, and paying attention to the things that would normally go unnoticed.
Then I turn that time into a short documentary film, usually 5–8 minutes. The story decides the final length.

Portrait of a Muralist on Fire
Aly (That Painter Chick) is an Indianapolis-based muralist. I've had the pleasure of filming her on a couple of projects, and this one might be my favorite.
The heat was brutal. Despite it, and almost getting struck by lightning, she kept going and kept me laughing through it all.
16x Monon Street Painting Project
The 16x Monon Resident Alliance, painting their own street to make it safer. A minute with the neighbors who showed up for it.
Kids and adults working side by side, rollers in hand, turning a stretch of pavement into something the whole block shares.
Aly at RIVET
The first film I got to make of Aly, creating a mural at RIVET Coffee Bar in Zionsville.
One of the most talented artists I've ever met.
