Discover Top News Shooters / Video Journalists in Portland, Oregon, USA

Starting my television production career in Austin, TX in 1997, and after 20 years of television production experience, it's taught me one very valuable lesson: that THIS business is very unpredictable. That unpredictability is what keeps it exciting and drives me to each project. Shooting and editing promotional marketing packages, athletic highlight reels, behind the scenes, mini-docs and shooting on location, I excel at the "run & gun" ENG style shooting, adapting to many different situations and locations. Editing under tight deadlines and being a one-man band, from the first day of shooting to the final delivery is what I excel. Equipped with the latest technology for video, sound and editing, when you need it produced, shot and edited--hire ASF SHOOTS.

Curran is a documentary & commercial director & DoP based in Seattle. He is also the Creative Director and Co-Founder of Wildly, a Seattle-based commercial and documentary production company. A spirit for unique stories and visceral moments has brought me around the world and back - living in floating fishing villages on the East China Sea, documenting microbiologists traversing underground cave systems in British Columbia, accompanying the New Zealand women’s soccer team to the FIFA Women’s World Cup. I was born and raised outside of Boston, MA - and no - I do not have the accent. When the cameras are busy charging, you might find me jumping out of airplanes, getting my hands dirty in the Pacific Northwest backcountry, or pitching a tent under the stars with my dog, Benji.

I believe that short of meeting with a customer, the very best way for a client to develop feelings of affinity and trust is through video. And just like with spoken language, most of the communication happens "under the surface". HOW a film is made is as important as WHAT is being said. I place a huge value on creating a marriage of the artistic and the rational.
