Michael Russillo

Born 2000 · Newton, Massachusetts, USA

I grew up in the small town of Camden, Maine, and lived there for most of my life. Camden taught me to really enjoy what's around you. No matter where you are, there is always something worth seeing. I started my filmmaking journey in 7th grade, making stop-motion videos. But if you ask my family, they'll tell you I became obsessed with cameras by the age of 2. Many years later, I have embarked on my journey to create great and powerful films. I have a strong belief that storytelling is an art that speaks to people in different ways. As such, I aim to capture people's stories mainly through non-fictional means. I have discovered that photography and film are the most efficient methods for achieving this goal. I am proud of my work, especially because I have experimented with diverse types of media, such as graphic design, photography, film, and sound.
