About Me

Dana Fytelson is a filmmaker and fine art photographer fascinated with showcasing the unseen. Born in Connecticut and raised in New Jersey, she received her B.A. in French Language and Visual Media from American University in Washington D.C., and her M.F.A in Film Production specializing in Cinematography from Florida State University in Tallahassee. Between her degrees, Fytelson spent a year doing community service in the midwest with AmeriCorps NCCC. These vastly different cultural immersions fed Fytelson’s curiosity about worlds outside of her everyday norm, and filled her with a desire to show others what she’d seen.

 

Fytelson’s film works have been screened at festivals domestically and internationally, including the Austin Film Festival, Pasadena International Film Festival, Los Angeles Women's International Film Festival, Santa Monica Film Festival, and the London Lesbian Film Festival. She won Best Cinematography for the short film, “To The Moon and Back” (The Golden Hour Film Festival), as well as the genre-bending series, “The Web Opera” (Redwood Film Festival). She is a member of IATSE Local 600 and has worked in the camera department for shows on HBO, Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon.
