Independent Filmmaker
Yoel Iskindir Productions
     The three areas I’m experienced in are media production, education, and media education.
In a society where many of us exist as the “other,” my goal as a filmmaker is to create thought-provoking, challenging work, where we can explore our world on screen.
​     In Dec 2020, I joined the faculty at San Domenico School in San Anselmo, California where I independently oversee the entire Film Department. This includes designing a hybrid curriculum for in person, virtual, and international students; supervising our vast equipment inventory; and bringing a diverse perspective to students of all backgrounds. It is an honor to work with adaptable educators who have allowed the school to be one of the few remaining open during the global pandemic.

I bring a dedication to social justice and community uplift to every space I work.
