About Me

ALLYSON MCABEE

My name is Allyson McAbee. I am formerly a landscape architect who now focuses on ethnographic filmmaking. I love to design everything from gardens, rooms, layouts, and graphic design. Although this may seem a bit of a leap the two fields mesh well together as I have learned to approach ethnographic research using methodologies from the design process as a way to better understand people within their landscapes and environments.
My personal interest in the design process is the historical and cultural dimensions of space whether through the lens or in design. I hope to develop a filmic style reflective of my design aesthetic which captures the sense of place and lifestyles of those I film and photograph.
