Michael Thompson: Aspiring Director of Photography

Crew Only

I met Mike on the set of a music video I directed in October of 2017 and then after that I started seeing him around the city on different film sets. Mike is putting in his days to join the union but he is also constantly creating content whether its on commercial shoots, music videos,or friends projects, he's always trying to get better. It was really cool getting to talk to Mike because he is like a lot of us where we are in the middle of trying to figure it out. We don't have all the answers right now. We are just making it happen along the way. One of the things to take away from this episode is that you should constantly be creating your own stuff. Its the only way to get better at your craft and you get the opportunity to try different things you might not be able to do on a bigger project.
