About

Madison McClintock is an independent filmmaker and textile artist based in Maine, U.S.A. Madison is drawn to the human stories behind our collective natural and cultural heritage. Through cinema, with its unique ability to reach hearts, she intends to create spaces for audiences to reconnect with the foundational truth that our well-being relies on an interdependent relationship with each other and the “more-than-human-world.” If we are proximate with this truth, we are more likely to act on behalf of the whole.

Madison is currently in production of her first documentary feature - Her Inherent Belonging - a character-driven film exploring craft as a practice to a sense of belonging. She is based in Finland from January to July 2025.

Madison has had the privilege to work on predominantly impact-driven conservation filmmaking for her career. Since 2022, she has worked with National Geographic’s Pristine Seas in field production for stories in the Marshall Islands, Palau and Papua New Guinea. She received her BFA in Environmental Studies & Studio Art from Franklin University Switzerland and her MFA in Science & Natural History Filmmaking from Montana State University. Madison’s films Red Wolf Revival and Fungiphilia Rising have been broadcasted and featured at film festivals and in classrooms around the world. 

She is also an instructor and consultant, previously teaching documentary production to high school and non-traditional college students in the Amskapi Piikani (Blackfeet) & Apsalooke (Crow) communities and with Tibetan community leaders in-exile in Northern India.

When she is not making films, Madison is experimenting with dyeing textiles with natural dyes and studying bioregional herbalism - and growing and foraging the plants for both. She shares her love for plants and the natural world by creating small-batch hand dyed clothing and herbal remedies with her small project Solar Plant and Dye Stuff. She is also a mountain ultrarunner, avid fermenter and (slowly) studying to be a dharma teacher.

Madison is available for documentary film production (from concept to delivery), photojournalism assignments, documentary production workshops, and consultation worldwide.
