Hello! My name is Madeleine. I’m an imaginative and meticulous film and commercial video producer, who brings passion, authenticity, and a fierce work ethic to every project. I have a strong record of leading projects from ideation through completion and have worked within a wide range of budgets and timelines. A versatile team player, I've confidently taken on senior producer roles on feature films, episodic series, music videos, and national commercial campaigns, while also thriving in supporting capacities. Originally from Portland, OR, I earned my BFA at Chapman University's Dodge College of Film and Media Arts and spent several years working in Los Angeles before relocating to the Bay Area in 2016. I'm driven to tell human stories and to help amplify the voices of underrepresented populations. I believe a video is the ultimate group project, and I'd be excited to collaborate with you to bring your story to life!

Digital Media Producer with 15 years of hands on experience ranging from filmmaking to corporate video to event video to television. The years have pushed me into being a solid all-around type in film and video production, often serving as a camera op / DoP, AC, DIT, sound recordist / mixer, field manager and producer. However, my areas of focus are directing and editing, which allow me to shoot better with post in mind, as well as understand the process of vision and pull it all together. Can't be the master of all. But my diverse background allows me to see the big picture and get projects done, either as a lone wolf or as part of a team. For my production company, one studios, I often subcontract a wide array of dependable, experienced production professionals. So, if you're in need of a bigger team just let me know and I'll reach out to my network. For me, it's all about doing everything I can, including using my resources, to allow for a successful project. I'm currently based in San Francisco and often travel throughout Northern California for assignments. Travel to out of state, or even out of country, is not a problem....passport ready. I look forward to working with you! No matter the circumstances or how much of a challenge, let's get it done!....always with a good attitude. We're lucky to be doing this kind of work.

After more than two decades telling stories, sharpening my skills and leading others in the craft — I’m still inspired myself by the power of the medium. Most recently, as Managing Editor for Video & Audio at McClatchy, I led a team of journalists producing impactful daily and long-term projects. The team was a scrappy startup inside of a legacy media organization. We developed new workflows, trained staff and tackled technology challenges. Our video producer team worked with reporters, editors and photographers at the Miami Herald, Sacramento Bee, Kansas City Star — reaching new audiences in powerful ways. Our high impact team told the story behind the Miami Herald’s investigation of Jefferey Epstein - Perversion of Justice. The team also explored the conditions at the U.S./Mexico border with the Emmy award-winning Wait at Matamoros for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. In Sacramento, the documentary S.A.C. tackled the fallout from a police shooting that led to protests and community soul-searching. Prior to McClatchy, I was part of the America’s Heartland production team for KVIE Public Television. America’s Heartland chronicled the story of American agriculture for more than a decade. I traveled the U.S. (and world) as a producer and reporter for the show. Awards 2020 Lone Star Emmy Award: The Wait at Matamoros 2016 Northern California Emmy Award: Yes!
