Alyska Bailey

Alyska Bailey
  • Date of birth: 1980
  • Profession: Cinematographer, Director, Camera_department
A self-proclaimed old-school geek girl with a jones for movies, music and slightly bizarre, she's rarely seen without camera in hand.

Alyska operates PointyKitty Studios, a multimedia design studio in Madison on a full-time basis; has scouted, booked, and juried films for festivals; processed and projected 16mm film for two universities; and freelanced for vh1: behind the music.

Alyska received honors degrees in film production from the University of Wisconsin, and a commercial photography degree. Her specialties include product and food photography, jury slides and branding and identity work for emerging artists, and has spent more than a decade working for educational and cultural institutions and non-profits.

Alyska's uncanny ability to perform great creative work under the tight pressure of a looming deadline without screaming is a marvel to all who have worked with her.
