Sheridan Kelley

A Cherryfield native, Kelley left Maine to work for Polaroid after attending Bowdoin College. She obtained her Masters of Fine Arts degree from the Savannah College of Art and Design where she studied painting with Raphael DiLuzio. DiLuzio later became a professor of new media at UMaine, and contacted Kelley after establishing a Year in Film class to encourage her to pursue graduate studies in film at UMaine. Kelley has founded Knife Edge Productions, a video production company, with fellow UMaine graduate student, Nathan Hankla. "Working with Nathan Hankla has been great. I look forward to coming into the office everyday."
