A dynamic filmmaking duo
Hi there! We're happy you've landed on our site. Rescued Media is a collaboration between Katie and Nelson Dellamaggiore, a filmmaking duo based in New York City. We've been telling non-fiction stories for over twenty years, Katie as director and producer and Nelson as editor and producer. In 2013, we released our first film, Brooklyn Castle, which won the Audience Award at SXSW and was Emmy-nominated following a national theatrical release and broadcast on PBS.
Here you can learn more about us, check out our current work, and get in contact if you want to tell some stories together!

BROOKLYN CASTLE recounts stories of five members of the chess team at a below-the-poverty-line inner city junior high school that had won more national championships than any other team in the country. The film follows the challenges these students faced in their personal lives as well as on the chessboard and is as much about the sting of their losses as it is about the anticipation of their victories. Ironically, the biggest obstacle thrust upon them arose not from other competitors but from recessionary budget cuts to all the extracurricular activities at their school.
