ELLA MYLOD


Ella Kelsey Mylod is excited to bring her creativity, love for connecting with others, and thirst for knowledge to Martha’s Vineyard Film Society this summer. After studying at the University of Notre Dame her freshman year, she decided to take her studies to the East Coast and study Visual Media Arts Production at Emerson College, where she is currently a rising junior! In her free time, she likes to write (anything from journal entries to scripts), spend time with friends and family, cook, and read (she just finished Bel Canto by Ann Patchett and recommends it!). Passionate about storytelling and filmmaking, Ella is eager to learn and engage with the community!

ISABEL DEVITA

My name is Isabel DeVita and I am a rising junior at the University of Pennsylvania. I am studying Philosophy, Politics, and Economics with a minor in Cinema and Media Studies. In my free time, I love to watch movies (especially in theaters) and go vintage shopping! I have been coming to the Vineyard every summer since I was born and am super excited to work at the Film Society!

BIANCA VENTOLA

Bianca Ventola is a recent graduate of the University of Southern California. During her four years at USC, Bianca studied and interned abroad in Spain, Mexico, and France at the Cannes Film Festival. This summer, Bianca is excited to be back in her home state interning for the Martha's Vineyard Film Society. On the Vineyard, Bianca's favorite activity is watching the sunset at Aquinnah Cliffs. She is passionate about international film production in Spanish speaking countries and international film festivals.
