Hi, I’m Danger. (Yes, it’s my real name)

I’m a cinematographer who grew up in St. Louis before running away to live in my truck and be a dirtbag climber. I’ve fabricated puppets, restored and lived in an old sailboat, and was deeply involved in the immersive art community in Oakland.

Nowadays, I specialize in highly technical story-driven cinematography. I do a lot of documentary work, but really love narrative comedy and other genre work that demands a high level of craft.

I’m also:

-A certified scuba diver and occasional underwater camera operator

-An MFA graduate from the AFI Conservatory

-A retro game console repair and modification enthusiast

-A body and mat surfing zealot

-A mullet apologist
