Christian Schuller, Documentary filmmaker and Aedan McEvoy, musician, composer and singer songwriter will showcase their talents and speak about their process of collaboration on the Documentary Film “The Gateway Totem Project”.

An award-winning documentary filmmaker and published photographer, his most recent work is “The Gateway Totem Project,” a short documentary that unveils the story behind a sculpture honoring Morristown’s deep-rooted immigrant community. He is also the cinematographer and co-director behind “The Creature Show,” an on-going web series about endangered species of New Jersey. His first documentary, “Growtown Motown,” chronicled the creation of the Early Street Community Garden in Morristown, NJ.
During his career, he’s shot, produced, directed, and edited projects for multiple Fortune 500 companies, non-profits, foundations, and small businesses. Clients include: Johnson & Johnson, The Knight Foundation, Verizon, Edible Jersey, GUESS Eyewear, WhiteWave Foods, and Morris Arts.
Documentary Filmmaker Christian Schuller will be presenting a few of his Documentary Films at MPAC – Arts in the Community -series at 70 South Gallery on South Street in Morristown on July 25, 2018 beginning at 7:30.
