Discover Top Drone Operators in Elizabeth, New Jersey, USA

My name is Andrew Abballe and I am a Brooklyn-based Cinematographer, avid photographer, and experienced colorist. I have a wide background in mainly narrative projects, commercials, music videos, and corporate content. I have two feature-length films and several short films under my belt as well. Commercial clients also include Rolex, Roche Bobois, WeWork, Google, Hasbro, LG Electronics, and more. I'm however always looking to expand my repertoire and will gladly work on projects of all shapes and sizes. In 2015, I graduated from the School of Visual Arts with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film/Video and a concentration in Cinematography. Since then, I have been working professionally in the industry for the past nine years. As a naturally quiet person, I use images to express my thoughts, ideas, and emotions. Pictures allow my voice to be heard when words seem to fail me.

I'm a filmmaker who focuses on small footprint, indie docs and branded content. I'm great with people, I love to interview, and I can handle all the teach and gear stuff. Going to school for a TV/Film degree, I was able to get hands on experience quickly. After school, I gravitated toward projects that I could manage myself, creating powerful stories with a small crew. Traveling for the story has become my thing in the past three years! I've worked in London, Italy, all over the US and Kenya. Music to my ears is hearing: "Here's the basic idea and story, now get out there and make something great." Put me in coach! I'll make you proud.
