Directors and Producers often commend me for my meticulous preparation and composure amidst the high stakes of production. This discipline stems from my upbringing in Colorado, where I developed an instinct for thorough planning in the mountains. These habits seamlessly transitioned into my cinematography work, where patience, foresight, and adaptability are crucial. The calm I maintain under pressure is a trait I learned as an aviator in the 1990s at Boeing Field in Seattle. In flying, equipment failures are anticipated, paralleling the unpredictability of a film set. I address equipment challenges with precision and resolve, ensuring swift recovery when conditions change. My drive as a filmmaker is fueled by a profound love for books, movies, and music. I view cinematography as a significant new language, one that requires learning and practice. I believe in the potential of international films to open windows onto the human condition and serve as instruments for peace.
