Cinematography Workshop

Service Description

Don't want to take a master class? Want to learn how the professionals do it? Want some knowledge of a four year degree in a few hours? Want to learn from someone who creates Oscar Qualifying work? CIFF 2026 accepted both my cinematography work and first assistant camera work; while Emily, my partner and girlfriend, was the cinematographer on the project I was first AC on. I was also the production manager and assistant director so make sure to come out to CIFF to see them on the big screen! I worked with awarded cinematographers from New York on jobs my high school video production teacher got me on. I have training on all brands of equipment except red cameras. When it comes to what people want to see, to what employers want to see, I know what to do. I've spent 8 years mastering a craft that takes a lifetime to figure out for some. Working for CSU, plus doing a commercial and billboard funded by the CDC. I've filmed for AGT, the Ohio Department of Education, Lake Middle/High School, and for GlenOak High School. I've worked for Cleveland Local 19, a CBS / CNN affiliate, plus a top 20 news station. I've been the assistant to the director of several film festivals, Robert Corna. I've been recommended by professors to countless internships and was chosen by the director of my school to be the recipient of the CSU 2024 USRA award, funding documentary research. I've filmed football games, ballet performances, dance performances, theater performances, many different concert events. I've done weddings, ran the live streams for church services at several places, and ran livestreams for non-profit organizations. I've worked with Wigs For Kids, the Blood Cancer United Foundation, and created a documentary for PBS. Plus, the Barberton Community Foundation may be added to the list soon. I've done feature length films, have credit on IMDB, and have a cinematography credit for a documentary with a director from Sweden on IMDB too. I can teach you everything but loading film!
