BIOGRAPHY

KELLY WOLFERT csc

Kelly Wolfert is an award-winning producer, writer, cinematographer, and director. With 30 years of industry experience on international documentary and promotional projects, Kelly has told stories from Japan, China, Russia, Chile, Peru, Germany, Sweden, Italy, and Australia … just to name a few. That travel has lead Kelly to meet so many different kinds of people and what he has learned most about storytelling is … to just listen. It’s listening and observing what’s around us … what makes us tick … that is where we find creative, relevant, and engaging ideas. People will be honest and vulnerable if they are being heard and that is when human truths reveal great stories.
