I’m Madeline Krieger.
A maker of film, photography, fiber art, and everything in between!
Film
I have been studying film for 5 years through H-B Woodlawn’s film class, under the tutelage of Kathleen Akerley. I have had exposure to film theory, screenwriting, directing, camera operation, editing, and sound mixing.
Fiber Art
I discovered my love for fiber arts when the COVID pandemic drove us all to isolate. For me, it is a craft that balances precision and creativity while providing a sense of calm.
Fun
In my free time, quad skating at my local park and world building in Stardew Valley and The Sims 4.
Photography
I enjoy going on photo walks in nature when traveling, at local parks, and around the Chesapeake Bay.
