Rachel Bardin is a cinematographer and director based in California. She excels in a variety of filming environments, from one-man-band verité, sit down and on the fly interviews, to fully-crewed narrative and commercial sets. She grew up in a small Florida town of less than 300 people and found her way into filmmaking via the circuitous route of photography, surfing and writing. She was the Director of Photography for Citizens At Last, a documentary about the women's suffrage movement that premiered on PBS in March 2021. Films that she has directed have been awarded the Special Jury Prize at IFFBoston and Best Short Documentary at Flyway Film Festival, and they have screened at the Austin Film Festival, the American Society of Cinematographers, Marfa Film Festival, the American Conservation Film Festival and the PBS Online Film Festival. Her commercial clients include: Atlantic Re:think, Recount Media, CIT Group, National Instruments, Humanities Texas, Two Shot West, Sun Bum, FIS Mobile and the Surf Station
