ABOUT THE ARTIST

Evan Manion is a young and ambitious filmmaker from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and is an award-nominated filmmaker in Los Angeles, California, and Reims, France, and was a featured guest on Pittsburgh Today Live.

With his curiosity, he was never afraid to get his hands dirty and was often found playing around with the family camera or building something for a small video. Since then, Evan has been a part of many film and stage productions for the past 10 years, and continues to do direct short films, portrait and landscape photography, drone piloting, set building, and making commercials for small and large businesses.
