Documentary + Narrative + Experimental

Short Films

Filmmaking allows an artist the closest thing to having people see the world as they do. To see from someone else’s perspective is quite the gift. To tell stories, evoke emotion, be creative, and invent a new world for an audience to view on a screen…filmmaking is a gift indeed.

Film Set Experience

Apart from working on her own films, Hailey loves collaborating with others to bring their visions to life. She has worked on short films and student projects for other filmmakers in the St. Louis area since 2020. These days she is normally found in the camera department as Director of Photography or Assistant Camera, but she even took on the new role of behind-the-scenes photographer and videographer on set earlier this year!

  • Fun Fact: “Long Live Liborius” was one of the first professional film sets Hailey was on the crew for. It was one of her favorite films to be a part of because it involved two of her favorite things, skateboarding and filmmaking.
