Willa Kammerer is a freelance audio and multimedia producer based in Portland, Maine. A graduate of Middlebury College, Willa studied the craft of radio at the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies, and brings a knack for storytelling and strong documentary sensibility to all of her work.

Though Willa’s background is in journalism—she interned and worked at New Hampshire Public Radio’s Word of Mouth, and still occasionally freelances for public radio shows—she likes to think of herself as more of a collaborator with the people in her stories than an emotionally removed documentarian. Willa works one-on-one with her clients—individuals, organizations, schools, and businesses—to find, refine, and tell their stories in a way that is eloquent, genuine and compelling. Willa’s projects are diverse and wide-ranging, including a series of profiles about creative entrepreneurs, a compilation of mini-films for a college website, a multimedia family snapshot, an ad for a political site, and a book trailer. Depending on the needs and scope of each individual project, Willa works both independently and with a handful of trusted collaborators—photographers, cinematographers, animators, illustrators, and web designers—to bring her clients’ visions to life.

Willa often collaborates with the acclaimed environmental photographer Bridget Besaw via Seedlight Pictures, a multimedia production company committed to spreading awareness about important environmental issues through storytelling.
