Hi! I am an award-winning filmmaker specializing in projects involving ecological conservation, endangered species awareness, and environmental justice. With a background in expedition work and experiential education, I aim to engage new audiences to tell stories of impact that encourage others to explore the world around them.​

I bring a Wilderness First Responder and extensive backcountry expedition knowledge to each project. I have my MFA in Film and Media Arts with a concentration in Environmental, Wildlife, and Social Impact Filmmaking from American University and am now a freelance cinematographer, producer, and editor based in the US, but ready to travel. 

My 2024 showreel is available upon request. For more information on previous projects, visit https://www.jesswiegandt.com. Read Less
