Karissa Leicht is a cinematographer and filmmaker in the film industry. She studied cinematography, digital media, and art history from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, TX. After graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2015, she now works as a professional cinematographer on sets.

"I would like think of myself as a 'visual therapist' for a project when it comes to aiding the Director in their vision. It is not just about making 'cool images', but about enhancing the story of what is to be told."
