Celine Francois
Development Intern, CNN Original Series and Films
Summary
As an undergraduate student of documentary film at Chapman University, I spend a lot of time establishing and executing my goals in regards to filmmaking with a special focus on cinematography. I am well versed in all stages of the documentary production process, and find inspiration throughout every step from pre-production research to production coordinating to post-production planning. I am most passionate about documentary films that highlight particular characters or important social issues in such a way that captivates a universal audience.
