Greg DeSaye, Filmmaker

Gregory DeSaye is an award-winning independent filmmaker who currently resides in Bismarck, North Dakota. DeSaye fell in love with filmmaking first as a young boy who was enamored by his parent’s camcorder in the early 90’s, as well as going to the drive-in movie theatre in Minot where he grew up. Later when deciding on a career path, he fell in love with filmmaking through the process of editing and photography after studying Broadcast Production at Minot State University.

Over the past 15 years, he has been developing his craft while working for production houses, television stations, and communications departments for large organizations in Wisconsin and North Dakota. In 2018, he began production on Balkowitsch, a feature-length documentary film that he directed, produced, shot, and edited with his business partner, Chelsy Ciavarella. Through that venture their production company Her, Him & The Fellas was born.

DeSaye currently works as a Video Production Manager on a Communications team for a large national technology cooperative and is developing ideas for his next film with his production company.
