Hello and welcome to my personal website/portfolio.

I'm Marcus Ute and I'm an independent, freelance filmmaker who shoots and edits intimate scale, documentary style pieces entirely on my own (with the help of some stock footage). My academic background is in social and cultural anthropology (Stanford, class of 2021) so I've been using the learning process of making small scale filmmaking projects to apply my training in researching and writing about people. I'm also a member of the Eastern Shoshone Tribe here on the Wind River Indian Reservation. Below there are four pieces I've made for clients in the world of academia, feel free to check those out.
