BIO /Bella Graves

I am a New York based documentary filmmaker and cinematographer. My heart is in verite cinema. I don’t want to rush. I believe in letting eyes adjust to the dark to reveal an unknown.

The unrequited love between person and place.

I am not a ‘fly on the wall.’ I don’t think I have ever felt that way or that I’d want to.
