Maddie Gwinn(I)

Madison Gwinn is a Film Production major with a dual Directing & Editing emphasis and in the University Honors Program at Chapman University's Dodge College of Film & Media Arts. Born in Washington DC, she spent the latter half of her childhood growing up in the Pacific Northwest outside of Seattle. Having a deep love for nature and the arts, she was hesitant yet immensely curious to move to the Los Angeles area. She has since spent six months living and studying abroad in Prague, Czech Republic, where her passion for film history in Central Europe blossomed. Madison spends her time either in solitude or fully engaged with others, enjoying backpacking, studying film literature, making films with her peers, jumping on random road trips and flights to unexplored places, and pursuing conversation with strangers. She is exuberant to learn from every moment life has to offer and hopes to absorb the world's stories and infuse them into her art, as if to hand back the world a reflection of itself through her soul.
