ABOUT ME
Meet Bayley Pokorny - Filmmaker, Director, Cinematographer
A Filmmaker, artist, and general nerd for all things storytelling. I've been working in the Chicago film industry for about 15 years. I've had a winding career through many wonderful productions large and small. I've created full time for NBC Universal on Chicago Fire, Chicago PD, and Chicago Med. I recently did cinematography for a film that won best picture at the Chicago 48 Hour film festival. I built and co-ran a sketch comedy channel called Problemagic Comedy for several years. I've done some independent documentary work, primarily during the protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline. For many years I've worked as a Steadicam operator for independent productions including music videos for Lyrical Lemonade, and indie features. I've also worked as a camera assistant in Television on various shows such as Empire, The Bear, One Chicago, and Justified City Primeval. Throughout this wild adventure of a career I've developed skills in cinematography, directing, editing, production, and a passion for the power of comedy to open hearts and minds. I've fallen in love with storytelling, and I hope to continue to share my passion for it with the world.
