Owen Nelson - Director, DP, Editor
Freelancing as a videographer for 3 years in Chicago.
Editing for clients worldwide.
Originally from Sonoma California, I grew up with a passion for filmmaking, and taught myself how to edit on the family computer. When I was 11 I went on a tour of Industrial Light and Magic in San Francisco, and after that day I knew I would be a filmmaker some day. I ended up going to Marin School of the Arts for high school and now I attend Columbia College Chicago as a film and television major.
When I moved to Chicago in 2021 I began combining my filmmaking skills with my interest in music and began creating music videos. Freelancing for local artists connected me with more artists online and I began editing videos shot in other states and countries.
Beyond music videos I love doing video work for fashion, and traditional filmmaking. I have been able to work with clothing designers and have learned and practiced a lot of filmmaking through school.
