Eliza McNitt

Writer / Director / Film + VR

Eliza McNitt found filmmaking through science. A top winner of the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair for her research on Honeybee Colony Collapse Disorder, Eliza’s first film was inspired by a desire to communicate the devastating impact of vanishing honeybees. Her documentary Requiem for the Honeybee was broadcast internationally on C-Span. Her unique voice as a director fusing science with narrative storytelling has been commissioned by brands including Google, Global Dialogues, TED, Panasonic, and Mattel. She is the recipient of over 50 film-festival nominations and prizes – including eight Best Film and Best Director awards. She is currently a resident with National Sawdust at NEW INC.
