About:
Leo Geneser
My name is Leo Geneser. I recently graduated from Marquette University with majors in Digital Media and History. I was born in Chicago but raised in the surrounding suburbs. I am currently exploring multiple options after graduation. I have recently accepted an offer to Wake Forest's Documentary Film Program where I will be learning new skills and gaining more experience. After Grad School, I will be searching for work in corporate media or elsewhere. I am interested in cinematography, sound, production assistance, and gaffing.
