Meet Fall Leaf: Grace Neely

When Grace was in middle school, her dad, an amateur photographer, showed her some of his work. Later on, he let her borrow one of his cameras, and she never really gave it back. Now, she is a senior at Ithaca College, and majoring in Film, Photography, and Visual Arts. Hailing from Syracuse, NY, Grace has been fascinated with using an image to tell a story. She hopes to be able to tell those stories one day, by working in production. She loves being on set and has been on many short student films, working on camera, lighting, and art direction, as well as being a production assistant on a feature film. While in college, Grace has found a passion for learning about religion. She joined the Interfaith Council, where she was president for a year, and also minors in Religious Studies. She has also found a love for the undead by playing the game Humans vs. Zombies, where human players must use Nerf blasters and sock balls to fend off zombie players. Grace is excited to work with ReKon Productions and to learn more about the production industry. She hopes that her experiences would help her start a career in the film industry.
