About the Director
The picture shown is of Queen Stewart, Co-Director. She is an attorney and first time film maker.
Cenna Wilkerson is a triple threat: she shoots, directs, and edits. Whether behind the lens or in the edit suite, her eye is on the engaging, the new. With design skills as well, Cenna created the graphic title sequence for It Was the Music, and some remarkable cinema verité for the series. Artistically talented, technically sophisticated, she QC’s all of Point of View Productions work. Current projects include editing the feature doc Art Stops Here, helming A Revolution in the Desert, and Sense of Urgency, a film about what it takes to survive cancer.
