MOREL MALCOLM
Who is Morel?
I graduated from New York University in May 2018, where I majored in Media Culture and Communications with a field of study in Film & Images and a minor in Studio Art. Shortly after graduation, I moved to Miami to start my creative career as a Graphic Designer, Videographer & In-House Photographer for a start-up. I then went to the University of Southern California to obtain my masters in film & television production.
Throughout my educational and professional career, I have acquired many creative skills such as digital and analogue photography, writing, directing, & production design. I have gained professional experience at jobs and internships I have had, including Vice Media, Global Tree Media, Christie's Art Auction Warehouse, American High Productions & the Pontu Lopud Film Festival in Croatia.
Before moving to NYC, Miami and now LA, I grew up on a small heirloom vegetable farm in upstate New York, called Schoolhouse Farms. I draw a lot of my inspiration and story telling from the experiences growing up in the rural hamlet of Borodino. I have three younger siblings who inspire me everyday. I'm influenced by photographers such as Cindy Sherman, Ralph Eugene Meat-Yard, Diane Arbus and Nan Goldin. Filmmakers such as Agnes Varda, Wes Anderson, & Hayao Miyazaki have been a large influence on my studies and work.
