Madeleine Kendris
Filmmaker and Production Designer
About the Artist
I am a filmmaker based in Boston, MA. I specialize in immersive world-building and storytelling. I will be graduating in May 2026 from Emerson College with a BA in Media Arts Production and a minor in Art History. I wrote, produced, and directed an independent short film about mental health at 19, and I have future directorial projects in the works. Outside of directing and producing, I have spent my college career gaining expertise in production design. I have been the production designer for several student BFA capstone films, an MFA capstone music video, and my own capstone project, Waiting.
I work with producers to find filming locations, or I design sets and lead their installation in a soundstage. I am experienced in communicating with different teams on each project and coordinating the logistics needed to bring the designs to life.
My career is only in its beginning, but there are so many pathways I could take. I am so excited to keep expanding my knowledge and experience in filmmaking and meet new people while I do it. I have some of my projects shown below, check them out, and I hope you enjoy :)
