Middlebrook

While I was born in Manhattan, I grew up in Westport Connecticut. From an early age,

I was engrossed in the visual arts, making silly home movies and gaming montages with

my friends. In my freshman year of high school, I turned my eyes towards a more focused exploration of my interests, taking a storytelling class. Since then, my passion for filmmaking has only continued to grow. At the end of my high school career, my family and moved to Fairfield, and I live there now. In 2019, I spent the month of July in California, studying directing and producing at the University of Southern California. The film my colleagues and I worked on was shot on the Disney Studios' Golden Oak Ranch. It was also selected to represent our class at the program festival. I also took part in the New York University Dramatic Writing Summer Course in 2021. In 2023, I wrote and directed a short film which shot in three different U.S. states. Recently I graduated NYU Tisch School of the Arts Film & Television Program with a BFA.
