The Society of Camera Operators

I'm excited to share the new publication of The Society of Camera Operators, which did a short stint on yours truly. This group is based in LA and is the only group that is not a union that helps support the role of camera operators in film and television.

People may wonder what path I'm on because they see me doing various roles in a production. My technical skills are still aligned with the camera department, just as they have for over 25 years. I went from AC to Camera Operator and am now DPing many projects. There are many layers to this path, and I don't live in a film-friendly region. So the journey to survive and be in the business is real and has taken me into a few other roles that I need to keep the balls rolling. The number two role I often own is producing.
