Jordan Young

Hello! My name is Jordan Young and I am a Cinema and Television Arts BFA major with a music technology and theatre arts minor at Elon University. Overall, I am passionate about storytelling and being able to share stories through multiple different mediums. I have previously written, directed, and produced two one acts in 2017 and 2018 that were performed in each year’s Spring Theatre Festival.

I believe in the importance of diversity and inclusivity in storytelling and the effect in can have on society, and those things are seen in my stories. I am currently working with Elon Tonight writing scripts and working as a Director of Photography.
