Meet the Intern: Anthony Koonce

Thursday, May 28, 2026

Hey! I’m Anthony. I am a recent graduate (2024) of John Paul the Great Catholic University, a little Catholic college based in San Diego, California.  However, I grew up in Cleveland and am excited to be back and starting my career here.

I majored in film production with a minor in digital marketing, and have been fortunate to be working in the field since I graduated.  Locally, I’ve worked at Dodd Camera and Color Beyond (a production company based in my hometown of Cleveland Heights).  I also participated in the 2025 Film Crew Intensive at the Tri-C Film Academy, where I learned from some of the best crew in Cleveland.  I’m now about to start as a full time videographer at Evergreen Podcasts, a production studio based in downtown.

I wanted to spend some time at the film commission to learn more about how they bring production work to Cleveland.  It’s been exciting to see the film industry here grow, and I want to continue being part of it.  I’m fortunate that film and video has taken me to cool places all over the country, but I still love Cleveland and want to see it thrive.

Long term, I hope to establish myself as a Camera Operator and Director of Photography.  Outside of work you can find me traveling, working on passion projects, and of course, watching movies.

Thank you to the film commission for having me!
