Summary

Message

As a cinematographer, I gravitate towards character driven pieces where I can help complement and explore the nuances of story and persona. This has given me a strong narrative background and helps set the stage for other types of projects as well.

John Killoran

Director

Mike was a pivotal asset to the project. He's clear-headed, thoughtful, communicative, and a skilled collaborator -- in addition to straight up skilled DP. (And he was even nice enough to show patience when I was trying to talk about things I demonst ...MORE... rably knew less about than he did, which happened more than once.)

John was Director and Michael was Director of Photography (DP) on School Nights
