Hi, I’m Grace Galletti — a trauma-informed visual storyteller
I’m a documentary filmmaker and journalist with a passion for mental health because of my own struggles with depression and anxiety. I’ve focused my work extensively on the subject to raise awareness and overcome the stigma that has kept many, including myself, in silence.
After graduating from UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism with a focus on documentary, I worked as an Associate Producer and Associate Editor at Citizen Film where I helped produce, shoot and edit social media shorts, event recaps, fundraising campaigns, and documentaries. I also interned at Proximity Media and NBC Bay Area. I’m currently based in Brooklyn working as a videographer and making documentaries for organizations that are doing good in the world.
I was born and raised in France and I have a degree in environmental engineering from Brown University.
