Gregory Voelkel is a filmmaker and writer from Columbia, South Carolina. His last directorial work includes the micro-budget feature Charge (2019), which he co-directed, and the short film Playland (2020), which he wrote and directed. Gregory is deeply interested in coming-of-age narratives, ghost stories, and family. Gregory also supports documentary filmmaking, designing a filmmaking curriculum for a Chicago-area after-school program called the Young People’s Race, Power, and Technology Project (YPRPT), an initiative in collaboration with Northwestern University’s TREE Lab. He co-directed the short investigative documentary Racial Recognition (2020), and now produces high school student-made short documentaries that explore issues of technology, ethics, and race in local communities. His upcoming short, In the Woods (2021), details how a young man learns to process a breakup he can’t seem to understand.
