Bio

Ingrid is an award-winning filmmaker, video journalist, and educator working primarily on documentary films. Her latest freelance work includes producing and editing commissioned documentaries, editing documentaries for BBC Reel, Brut. Docs and Hearst TV Digital Studios, and teaching video journalism and documentary filmmaking at the International Center of Photography.

She most recently worked on the premium history docu-series Vegas: The Story of Sin City through Bungalow Media, which aired on CNN this year. Ingrid is proud to have worked on an Emmy-nominated series for Sesame Street in Communities, an educational project about how to talk to kids about race and racism. Before switching to freelancing, she worked as an Associate Producer on eight feature-length historical documentaries for CNN Specials, including the Emmy-award-winning documentary How The World Sees America.

With her production partner Sana A. Malik, Ingrid produced, shot, and edited the student BAFTA-award-winning documentary, Guanajuato Norte. The film follows Wenceslao Contreras Galvan, a migrant farmworker in Connecticut, and his sacrifice of being away from his family to provide a better life for his children in Mexico. The film went on to screen at multiple film festivals and was acquired by The New Yorker.

She co-directed, produced, and edited the commissioned films Dr. Susan La Flesche Picotte and Chief Standing Bear's Journey to Statuary Hall, with Executive Producer and co-Director Judi gaiashkibos. Both films about prominent Indigenous trailblazers went on to screen across the country as an educational tool for public, private, and tribal schools.

Continuing her work creating short biographical documentaries about historic Nebraskans, Ingrid recently finished a short documentary with The National Willa Cather Center about the legacy of Cather, a preeminent queer American female writer of the 20th century.

In addition to her work producing independent and commissioned projects, she loves helping other directors’ visions come to life as a producer, editor, or videographer. She’s easily curious but particularly drawn toward participant-driven stories with a social justice angle.

Based in NYC and from Nebraska (she can work as a local in Lincoln or Omaha,) Ingrid is available for your assignment and looks forward to hearing about your next film idea.
