Here is my longer and more serious/professional bio:

Lindsay Trapnell is a filmmaker, writer and educator. She received her B.A. from the University of Michigan and her M.F.A. in Film Production from the USC School of Cinematic Arts.

She presently lives in Omaha and teaches in the Visual Arts department of Metropolitan Community College and is the Education Manager at Film Streams. Lindsay has assisted on music videos for various bands, including Outkast and Cursive, and recently directed music videos for local Omaha bands Thunder Power and Honeybee.  Lindsay was awarded the “Distinguished Artist Award” in 2008 for her video and film work by the Nebraska Arts Council.

Lindsay also occasionally writes freelance for Omaha publications The Reader and City Weekly, as well as the Chicago-based magazine Venus Zine.  Sometimes she works with SecretPenguin, creating video content. Together with friends, Lindsay was involved in creating Moxie Paper Press, a small but growing independent publisher out of Omaha.
