Director of Photography Resume

Biography:
Born and raised in Queens, NY Seth spent his post college years wearing his Master's Degree in computer science thin working on some very large projects during the internet boom.   After having enough he took a three month trip to New Zealand and Australia risking life and limb on every adventure activity he could find.  Having almost collapsed from fear and adrenaline bungee jumping, sky diving, scuba diving, hang gliding (the list goes on) he discovered the artistic side of himself.

Coming back to America with a more worldly viewpoint, Seth began studying acting.  While it was rewarding he felt that he could contribute to projects in a different and more technical way.  And then he discovered filmmaking.  It was the perfect meld of creativity, technical problem solving and presenting a viewpoint.  He found what he was meant to do.

While learning filmmaking at schools certainly has value, Seth believes his mostly self taught body of knowledge allows him to think out of the box, becoming more and more creative with the way equipment is used, the way shots are composed, the way light hits the subject and the way a story is told.  His background in computer science make him especially equipped to create and maintain proper digital workflows with all footage archived properly and safely.  His acting background allows him to work with the director and actors to help shape the creative vision.  His business background allows him to negotiate equipment deals, schedule and maintain a crew and speak constructively to all departments.
