Sydney MaHan, Filmmaker and Editor

Hi! My name is Sydney MaHan and I am a filmmaker and editor based out of Northern Virginia. A native of the DMV area, I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree from the College of William & Mary in 2016 with a double major in Government and Film and Media Studies. I have an MFA from American University in Film and Electronic Media with a concentration in documentary filmmaking as of May 2021.

​

My most recent projects include working with Smithsonian Gardens on videos for their HABITAT (2020), Her Story (2021), and Orchid (2022) exhibits, as well as my thesis film Cloverdale (2021).

​

As a storyteller, I love learning about other places and having the opportunity to share other people's unique perspectives. I always strive to captivate, inform and connect my audience to the world around them and I can't wait to connect with you!
