HASHTAG KILLER
THE TEASER ( Shot in 2017 ) on an HD Camera - with a 2 Person Crew
Cinematographer
I plan to bring on Darryl Miller for Principle Photography as the Lead Cinematographer for the Hashtag Killer. Darryl and I spent years together working together in Chicago on a few independent films. He has spent over 8 seasons on Chicago Fire, Chicago PD as a camera operator and has a slate of movies under his belt that you can check over in his IMDB page.
Not only do we work well together, but I think he brings a specific style to the film that I'm looking for on this project. He is familiar with the ARRI camera systems and a very strong lighting expert especially with low key Chiaroscuro lighting that I plan to focus on.
He will bring his expertise and a very good lighting team on board. With his eye and professionalism, great communication skills and positive attitude, he will capture the visuals I need to bring this movie to life.
