Featured Vendor - 21st Paradigm - Videographer

Vanessa Schulz is the foundering director of 21st Paradigm, a non-profit organization producing environmental documentaries for the past ten years. Her experience as a camerawoman is not only limited to her independent documentaries, but is grounded in her work for National Geographic, Discovery Channel, Fox and NBC. Vanessa’s camerawork and editing skills have garnered national and international awards, including ‘best of festival,’ ‘best documentary’ and ‘outstanding artistic achievement.’

In part to support her environmental work, Vanessa makes select wedding videos. Her style is called Cinéma vérité, French for "cinema truth." Best described as "fly on the wall filmmaking," the filmmaker attempts to make his/her presence as unobtrusive as possible. Small cameras and natural lighting are preferred. The story is told in how the images are captured, which often makes editing unnecessary (greatly reducing cost). The footage in its natural and uncut form reflects the true essence of the event without editor bias; all the glorious intensity of laughter, tears, bonds, hope, romance, excitement, promise, and of course… love.

Helping brides stay calm and centered, Vanessa also teaches yoga in her home studio and at Bend’s healing center, The Bodhi Tree. For more information on how to schedule an appointment with Vanessa, write to info@21paradigm.com.
