Jonathan Smith

Film Equipment Manager

Jonathan Smith is a documentary filmmaker, writer, and geek.  He has a life-long love of story, although he took detours through careers in I.T. and archaeology before he found his home in film.  He has been able to combine these diverse skills to support others' film projects through research, technical and equipment advice, and IT support, in addition to creating films of his own.  His short film, “Remembering Elwood Higginbottom”, has been shown to community groups and city governments in support of lynching memorialization, as well as showing at several regional film festivals.   He holds an MFA in Documentary Expression from the Southern Studies program at the University of Mississippi and an MA in Anthropology from East Carolina University.
