Gabriella Cisneros (BFA 2018, Film) was recently featured in a Shepherd Express article discussing her work and career, including her latest film, 2024’s “Impermanence.”

The piece documents Cisneros’ origins in rural Wisconsin, which profoundly impacted her and her love of photography, describing to Shepherd Express how she would make documentaries of family vacations.

“I would film and take photos of stuff on family vacations, and then I would edit it in Windows Movie Maker into a documentary of our trip,” Cisneros said. “It was very thematic, I would pick out specific songs that would make sense with where we were.”

Since 2019, Cisneros has worked at Porchlight Book Company as a creative director. “Impermanence” is currently being submitted to film festivals.
