Director - Carson Broom

Carson’s filmmaking journey started in high school, where a math project turned into a disaster thriller and a slasher film starred a retiring band director. He later created surreal ads for his parents’ business and redefined his hometown’s image through cultural pieces and historical documentaries aired on WVPB. Now, after an eight-year adventure, Carson is channeling all his energy into building a body of work that honors his unique voice as an emerging filmmaker.
