I'm the DP and producer of Academy-Award nominated film and Netflix Original "Heroin(e)" and the Netflix Original Documentary "Recovery Boys." As a journalist, I've directed and published short films on The NY Times, The Bitter Southerner, Center for Investigative Reporting, and Mashable, among others. As a commercial director and DP, I've shot films for Marriott, Renaissance Hotels, Facebook, and more. For both documentary and commercial work, I fully produce, direct, shoot, and edit my own films. I also get hired as a DP/shooter and director. I'm also an FAA certified drone pilot with more than six years of experience. For documentary work, I often use a Canon C300III, Panasonic S1H, DJI Mavic 2 Pro, gimbals, glidetracks, and have a large selection of high-quality prime and zoom lenses. For commercial work, I use the Red Komodo and (soon) the Red V-Raptor 8k VV camera. Note: I used to spell my name KERRIN, but now it is CURREN.

I'm a cinematographer, producer, and director for cinematic video content. As a filmmaker, I focus on digging into narrative, cinematic ways to tell stories — I'm convinced it's the best way to connect with fellow humans emotionally to make an impact. And as an entrepreneur, I firmly believe that one of the most powerful ways to change the world is through businesses run with empathy and soul. I get to be a creative artist while exploring the art of business, and for that I'm grateful.

Storytelling is my tool to share everyday moments, showcase unfamiliar cultures and to battle division and differences with truth and empathy for others. However, I also perceive the world through the lens of a geographer and I’m fascinated by how economic, political and cultural structures affect the autonomy of individuals and societies. It’s no wonder why I’m drawn to themes such as immigration, universal healthcare, climate change, environmental justice, human rights and access to education. When I’m not envisioning a better world, you can find me learning a new language, climbing trees, playing a classic rock song or letting loose on the dance floor.

I was the kid in high school figuring out old reel to reel machines and projectors in A/V club, and I've carried on that passion for technology and media to my professional career. Early on in my career, most of my experience came from my love for audio and music production. I tracked numerous local bands in the Cincinnati area including Walk the Moon, and Young Heirlooms, both in studio and on location. I've done sound for picture and live music video projects one of which won an Emmy award. I've worked as a field audio engineer for projects ranging from short corporate promotional videos to feature length films. Since those early days of running sound and tracking, I've pivoted to video production and find myself happiest with a camera in my hands on a shoot or traveling. I began polishing my craft at the Cincinnati Museum Center and National Underground Railroad Freedom center for 4 1/2 years as the head of video production and AV for both institutions. In 2016 I took a position in the corporate world as a Multi-media Producer at Paycor to revamp their video output from the ground up. Finally in 2018 I was able to make the move out on my own and launched Axe of All Trades, a full service video production outfit based in Cincinnati Ohio.

Josh Chitwood was born in Indiana in 1994 and was raised in a small southern Illinois town. As a transplant family from Indianapolis, and with Syrian-Lebanese roots, his family did not fit the mold of this rural town. Filmmaking and the creative process became his outlet at an early age. Throughout high school, Josh began developing his craft by making skate films, short documentaries and videos for his parent's church. In 2012, Josh moved from Illinois to Minnesota where he met his wife, Morgan. In 2014, Josh and Morgan started a film company called Chitwood Media. The heart of their work is to create films that cultivate inspiration, expand perspective, empower community and affirm hope. Their films reflect the unique creativity ingrained in each individual that goes beyond mimicking the popular. The themes of their storytelling and cinematography challenge misconception, reveal beauty, and reflect their personal faith. In October of 2021, the two relocated their business from Minneapolis to Indianapolis. In his free time, Josh enjoys spending time in his home and community with Morgan and their three sons, Marquelle, Reggie and Tony.
