About Arielle...
Arielle Borges was raised in Monmouth County, New Jersey, attending schools that primarily focused on STEM rather than the arts. Despite this, she was always creative, beginning her journey in filmmaking by recording outings with friends and family, then spending hours editing these videos. This evolved into regularly making YouTube videos throughout her formative years, often casting friends to star in the projects she wrote, directed, and edited. This early experimentation further fueled her passion for filmmaking. Today, Arielle has won awards for original short films and two documentaries. She is currently majoring in TV and Film Production at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), where she also serves as Secretary of SCAD’s Film Production Club. An emerging producer, Arielle has chosen to focus her time and energy on producing and editing student projects during her studies at SCAD.

Even before SCAD, I’ve worked on a wide range of film projects that have challenged me and helped me grow as a storyteller. Producing over 10 films and collaborating with talented individuals has shaped my approach to creating meaningful content. Each project pushes me to refine my skills.
I’m deeply committed to refining my craft, both through my education and hands-on industry experiences. My goal is to continue producing impactful films that resonate with audiences while exploring new creative directions in my filmmaking career.
