Premiere event of Backlit: Amanda McGrady

Backlit:  Shining a light on those who work behind the camera

Series premiere! 

Register to attend on Eventbrite.

WIFVNE and High Output cordially invite you to the series premiere screening of BACKLIT.  BACKLIT is a collaborative effort with a mission to shine a light on those working behind the camera.

With BACKLIT, our goal is to demystify the industry as a whole and the Lighting and Grip & Electric departments specifically. Our goal is to empower and inspire those who are interested in being involved in the industry and to showcase experience and insight from established professionals.  This is accomplished in two ways:  by providing a low-stress/high engagement on-set "learning lab "experience, and by producing videos for distribution through High Output and WIFVNE social media channels.    

WIFVNE Member Amanda McGrady got her start as a filmmaker shooting horror flicks on MiniDV. She began working in the industry while attending Emerson College where she earned a B.A. in Visual Media Arts. Her fascination with cameras grew when she took a job in a busy rental house. Even though she came up as a digital shooter, she still loves shooting on film when possible and is inspired by practical FX and good old-fashioned movie magic. Over the years Amanda has shot a variety of projects including feature and short films that have screened at festivals around the world.
