Leo Geneser
In May 2024, I graduated from Marquette University with Bachelors in Arts degrees in Digital Media and History. I recently finished my 1st semester as part of Wake Forest University's Documentary Film Program. I have been building my skills in storytelling, filming sports, cinematography, photography, editing, scene lighting, and graphic design. I am searching for work this summer in corporate media, non-profits, sports teams, or with production companies. I am interested in shooting live sports, cinematography, editing, sound, production, and gaffing.
