About Me
Director, Editor, Filmmaker, Storyteller
Hello, I'm Tristan Crawford, a filmmaker in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I have an expected graduation date of May 2023 at Minneapolis College of Art and Design, with a major in filmmaking and minor in animation and creative writing.
My passion for film is in every aspect of the art, from the way lines are written on paper and said on camera to the purposeful view the lens and edit make us see. My biggest goal with any project I may be working on is make the viewer feel and empathize with whatever the connect may be. I'm trained in and work with Adobe Premiere and Adobe After Effects and have used both in almost all my projects. I love writing a script for a fiction narrative project and see it come to life whether I'm behind the camera filming or behind the computer editing. I've directed almost all my work and have a strong passion with getting to know the crew I'm working with, in the professional sense of learning more skills myself but also having each group I work in become a fun and engaging environment.
