Daniele is a video production student at Southern
Maine Community College, where he developed a
strong interest in the lighting and camera
departments. He served as key grip on “Begin

Krysta gained interest in filmmaking back in 2016
when she first started her youtube channel. She
decided to attend school to learn more in depth
about the process of filmmaking. She has always
had an interest in acting, and filmmaking.
Currently attending SMCC in the communications
