Meet Caitlin Crowley

Caitlin is a queer filmmaker, editor and mixed media artist originally from South Florida, now based in Portland, Oregon. With a gritty, emotionally resonant approach to storytelling, Caitlin brings a sharp eye and an empathetic lens to stories often overlooked. She holds a Master’s degree in Multimedia Journalism from the University of Oregon and has several years of experience in cinematography, editing, and post-production.

“Our event couldn’t have gone better. The video was incredible and so well received… and people gave us all their money!!!”

- Michelle Williams, Canine Companions

Caitlin has served as Head of Production at ZP Productions, where she led creative projects for organizations such as the ACLU of Oregon, Habitat for Humanity, and the San Diego LGBT Center. She also managed post-production on the feature length documentary ‘Within Reach: The Fight to Finish Cancer’ which was nominated for a regional Emmy by the Northwest chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. 

Caitlin has also served as the Director of Photography on narrative shorts, music videos, and has received accolades for her sound design and editing.

Caitlin’s storytelling centers queer resilience and joy. Her latest project, A Florida of Our Own, is a vibrant and defiant documentary set in her home state. Against the backdrop of rising anti-LGBTQ+ legislation in the South, the film uplifts the voices of queer South Floridians who are refusing to be erased—celebrating chosen family, everyday resistance, and the transformative power of visibility.
