Teaching

"Melody Gilbert is the type of teacher that makes you question what you want to be when you grow up. After taking a class with her I fell in love with documentaries and forgot all about my Business Administration major."

- Rafie Drencheva, American University in Bulgaria class of 2014 & Northwestern University MFA in Documentary Filmmaking 2016

"Melody's teaching is infectious and her approach to documentary, from first idea to distribution, is a winner."

-John Schott, Chair of Cinema and Media Studies, Carleton College

"Melody's hands-on teaching style allowed me to instantly put her teachings into practice. "

-Mitchell Lundin, Carleton College student

"Our audience loved Melody as our Guest Filmmaker. Her enthusiasm lit up the place"

-David Siegler, Big Water Film Festival

Melody Gilbert

I am Melody Gilbert, a visual storyteller.

I love making documentary films, documentaries for clients and wedding documentaries.

I have been directing award-winning feature-length documentaries for almost 20 years (www.frozenfeetfilm.com). I also work for clients to make authentic branded content. Some of my clients include Best Buy, National Geographic/Western Balkans Travel, University of Minnesota, Torah Academy, Way to Grow, Pork Belly Ventures and xxx.

I also create behind-the-scenes documentaries of weddings that provide a unique memory for newlyweds.

Please take a look at some of my work and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or wish to get in touch.
