Caelin Dastey

I'm passionate about all things popular culture, from Videogames to TV shows to books to art exhibits, and everything in between. Being neurodivergent, I've always had a bit of a weird perspective, and that's something I take a lot of pride in. My filmmaking style is often experimental, and I enjoy playing with footage in different ways to create more abstract works.

I'm graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Media and Communication in June of 2023. My Studies have focused on Documentary and Essay Filmmaking, Video Editing, and Directing Performances.

A storyteller with a passion for finding beauty in the mundane.
