Our guest today is no stranger to the Cine Vibes gang; having worked together on several projects to date with Trey & Ken. He has charted his course in the film industry this far through the camera department, where he works primarily as first assistant camera (1AC). From commercial work to narrative films, Jeff has been on a variety of sets and worked at a number of different production levels. We chat with him about his goals in the camera department, making a career out of 1ACing & how much the people on set matter to not just the quality of the project, but also to the quality of life while working in the film industry.
So without further delay, please enjoy this chat with Jeff Pollina!
