about me
Memories are unique and fleeting things.
While somewhat visual, memories tend to be more emotional— nostalgic, golden, and slightly out of focus. A memory of an event isn’t just about how you see it, but how you feel it.
This is what I do. I capture memories.
I encapsulate not just what you see, but what you feel on film- bringing back your memories, but in perfect unclouded clarity.
This is what the magic of filmmaking really is.
Nice to meet you!
My name is C. Meredith Wertz, and I have been a documenter for as long as I can remember. Starting with a handheld cassette tape recorder in the mid-90’s, I would record songs, stories, and the ambience of ocean waves or forest birds, just so I could listen back to them in my room, and imagine I was there again.
Even at a young age, I was incredibly nostalgic, and knew that I couldn't just let these moments pass by without being properly remembered.
From the moment I got my hands on a videocamera at the age of 10, it quickly became clear that I had the great privilege and responsibility of being a memory keeper for my family and friends.
Since then, I have continued to cultivate a passion and personal investment for each event I have the honor of recording. I live each moment through a state of future nostalgia- continuously envisioning how memories will come to life when they’re put on film.
I am beyond grateful and truly honored that so many amazing people have put their trust in me to capture these once-in-a-lifetime moments, and I can’t wait to tell your story.

Unless I am performing on stage, I am typically reserved and observational in social situations. I have a keen eye for detail, and a desire to understand the people and world around me. I am deeply curious, and passionate about music, the human condition, and knowledge in general.

If I were to describe the style of my films, I would use the term “ethereal elegance.” I hope that the overarching feeling is that of a classic romance with hints of magic. Each story may approach that romance differently- some shout their love from the rooftops, and others find it in subtle glances. Either way, I am here to watch yours develop through my lens.

I am inspired by deep forests, plants, music, learning, petrichor, unexpected cool breezes on a warm day, the 1930’s - 1940’s, Usonian style homes, emotions (good or bad), and love 🖤
-
I love performing (perhaps one of my only truly extroverted traits) and have played shows & weddings multiple times with different bands as a singer, guitarist, pianist, and bassist.
My full name is Cassanndrah, but I go by my middle name Meredith or my nickname, Kayci.
I am a licensed ham radio operator, and I love science & electronics.
