Lindsay Bitner-Mitchell

Fulbright Lancaster University Summer Institute - Film

Lindsay Bitner-Mitchell, raised in Plainfield, Illinois, is currently a rising sophomore at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, majoring in Communication. For the past 5 years, Lindsay has been a video editor and content creator of film and media. On campus, she is a marketing intern for her school’s student-run media company and is also a part of many organizations in her community.

Passionate about film and popular culture, Lindsay hopes to pursue a career in entertainment and public relations while also continuing video editing and social media management. With an interest in intercultural communications, she plans to explore the connections between cinema and culture on a broader scale in hopes of including more underrepresented groups on the big screen.

Excited to learn more about the history of the UK and film production, Lindsay will be able to bring back valuable knowledge to further apply in her professional and academic career. The University of Lancaster Summer Institute will allow her to create new connections abroad and create a project that will display both theoretical and practical film techniques.
