Hello,
Starting out in high school, I was enrolled into a unique charter school that
emphasized on filmmaking and acting curriculums. There, I had gone through the film school experience early in life without need of a paid college degree. My discovery and application there in the first place, was when I realized what my greatest skills were destined. When it comes to my personal, directive style of storytelling, I’m a sucker for absurdist/surrealist values, or anything that’s tonally ambiguous in a captivating sense. As a Cinematographer, I approach matters in a thought process where every composition and choice of movement has it’s reason beyond what just looks “cool”. I’m not fan on doing it old-fashioned and by- the-books to the barest effort, you won’t find “boring” here. I could say more, but I believe it’s better for the work to speak for itself. If you’re reading this resume first, than please refer to my portfolio website linked above.
Now let’s get to work,
- A.A.
