What does a gaffer actually do — and how do you build a career shaping light in the film industry?
In this episode, I sit down with a working gaffer to talk about his start in the industry, how he worked his way up on set, and what it really takes to succeed behind the scenes in film and television.
We break down the realities of production life, navigating set politics, and the creative responsibility that comes with lighting a scene.
We also dive into his art installation, “Dreamhaus,” and how his technical knowledge of lighting translates into immersive, personal creative work outside of film sets. If you’re a filmmaker, cinematographer, aspiring crew member, or creative trying to find your lane in the industry, this conversation offers real insight from someone doing the work.
