hello!
Mckenna Bird is a story seeker, story creator, and storyteller working as an AC and in research / development.
I want to create ideas with you!
About
My path to film started with the longing to cherish and document memories, developed with the curiosity of the human story and culture while living abroad for five years, and continues with the empathy for the human experience and desire to open the heart of others through art.
I believe in the weight that film holds to influence, represent, and change.
With five years of experience in front of the camera, working abroad as an international fashion model, a BA in International Studies, and 10+ years of experience behind the camera in both solo projects and large productions, I hold a well-rounded skill set in many departments.
My work includes research and development, assistant camera work, assistant director work, and general production assistance. I have assisted with fast-paced run-and-gun commercial work, collaborated on researching and developing pitch decks for feature docs, and helped with talent and camera on multi-day commercial projects.
Just for fun
I own over 30 film and movie film cameras, display them all over my house, and use a handful of them on every trip I go on.
I’m an open water certified diver and would love to bring my camera experience underwater with me.
I really, really like Japan.
My husband and I own a Golden Retriever named Louise and I will gladly tell you all about her!
I grew up in Idaho in the mountains and on the lake. My heart belongs in Idaho!
let’s do it.
