Welcome to Anthology Films.
My name is Gavin McCalmont. I am an independent filmmaker who works with multigenre videography, where I create a variety of media projects that each have a different idea, concept and purpose. I do funeral videos and advertisements for groups of people. I do demos and mashups for entertainment and instruction. And I do short films and other free works for creative expression.
My goal is to create filming videos that share a sense of human spirit and human ingenuity, which can be experienced and revealed in many different ways. To be shown in different ways pertains to the videos sharing multiple ideas altogether. Hence, the videos are an “anthology”.
Based on my own way of thinking and based on the inspiration of other prominent works, my media projects are original, experimental, demonstrative, social-friendly and fan-made. Besides from being a filmmaker, I practice in visual journalism, where I am fascinated with filming the beauty and uniqueness within normal things. I like to encourage a sense of wabi sabi within normal things that may be unrelatable but have potential to be relatable.
I am particularly experienced in producing, film editing, script writing, camera work and basic special effects. I have worked on videography since 2016 when I first learned about it in my junior year of high school. Then I improved my knowledge exponentially by attending the media arts college Madison Media Institute in 2019, where I studied the necessary methods and skills from instructors who are veterans of the filming industry. Because of the array of filming skills I gained from working almost entirely alone on many projects, I am useful in creating modest and professional media work for anyone.
