Keenan Wetzel
Former college basketball player turned filmmaker, Keenan Wetzel’s distinctive style pairs striking visuals with humanistic storytelling.
Drawn to filmmaking at a young age, Keenan split his time between the Detroit public access television station AV room and the Michigan State University basketball court.
Equal parts poetic and powerful, his narrative style quickly grabbed him a spot on the coveted shortlist for 2020 Best Director after he debuted his docu short film “Still Home,” at the Cleveland International Film Festival.
Keenan has directed campaigns around the world for brands including Cadillac, Levis, Porsche, and the NFL.
