Eythan just graduated from the renowned American Film Institute in 2021 where they honed their art and craft as a cinematographer. They are  an associate member of the Society of Camera Operators and an active member of IATSE Local 600.

 

They love tapping into the emotionality of character. Using empathy to create the visual representation of the world around them. They are drawn to stories featuring true to life characters in an elevated world. Their photography is aimed at shooting things as they are while incorporating stylistic accents that highlight the atmosphere of the story. The ultimate goal is to be felt and not seen.   

​

They are currently writing a narrative short film, "Class Clown" that is set to go into production in the spring of 2023. 

​

Eythan loves to meditate on and off set.
