brandon’s Award-winning Approach

Streamlined work-flow

I started my career at Disney Channel as a storyboard artist then editor. I eventually worked my way into the freelance world of cinematography and directing. Having a working knowledge of pre-production, production, and post production, allows me to effectively communicate with all the departments leading to a more efficient shoot. I believe miscommunications and oversights in pre-production lead to missteps on set. The more of these we can avoid, the more energy we will have to put towards achieving our best work.

Flexibility and collaboration

Time on set is precious, so I place a high premium on creative problem solving and the ability to adapt the plan in real-time while filming. From working with celebrities, children, animals, and everything in-between, I have experience with some of the most challenging schedules and personalities. When it comes to locations and logistics, I've shot in over 35 countries on 6 continents. Being able to navigate various cultures, carnet/airport workflows, local crew integrations, and every kind of weather the planet can throw at you, is something I pride myself in. Having been-there- before allows me to think outside of the box when problem solving and helps me deliver for the team while under pressure.

Easy breezey

I try to make things as easy on my collaborators as possible. Splitting my time between NYC and LA, I have a strong rolodex of crew members to recommend for all flavors of projects. Having worked all over the globe, I have solid crew recs in many other countries as well. Additionally, I own roughly $200k worth of equipment that's available for your project if needed. This has helped countless projects save money and consolidate the gear rental process. By simplifying the logistics of our shoot, we are able to spend more time focusing on the creative execution and setting ourselves up for maximum success in the field or in the studio.

Brandon.

Im an Emmy award winning cinematographer / director that's worked in this industry for over 14 years. My career has blessed me with some of the best friends and memories a person could wish for. I approach each project with gratitude for the opportunity to create with some of the most incredible people in the world while making a living doing so. I'll rarely say no to a Mezcal Negroni, and will never say no to a dance party.
