A Misson

I was director of photography on the short film A Mission. Shot on Sony a7s with Kipon Baveyes full frame to medium format focal reducer, Panasonic AG-LA7200 anamorphic lens, and a 12-foot Jib Arm for smooth, calculated movements that match the character in the movie.

While on his mission, a vengeful Mormon Elder is pushed to prove himself-but, true identities are revealed in the home of a retired Bishop.
