My name is Alan and I am a DP, Director, and Video Editor based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I attended Chapman University’s Dodge College of Film and Media Arts, earning my BFA in Film Production with an emphasis in cinematography. I started my career in Los Angeles as a freelance cinematographer, shooting short films, music videos, and independent feature films. Notably, The Phoenix Project (2015) had a limited theatrical release, was reviewed in the LA Times, and received a distribution deal, ultimately landing on Netflix. After re-locating to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2016, I established myself as a commercial director and DP. I have created content for Google, Airbnb, Ford, Autodesk, HP, Uber, Dupont, and many other well-known brands. I have navigated shooting overseas, worked with celebrity talent and a Michelin Star chef, and directed campaigns with custom set builds and six-figure budgets. With 10+ years of professional filmmaking experience, I have a strong attention to detail and a deep understanding of visual storytelling. My leadership style is based on the understanding that production is a collaborative effort, and I strive to lead with confidence and empathy.

As a kid I was sure of one thing: when I was older I was going to be a Ghostbuster. I was going to haul my Proton Pack and Ghost Trap around in the Ecto-1, live in an old firehouse, and save my hometown from the tyranny of paranormal beings, three of my best buds in tow. When I came to learn that Ghostbusters weren’t real, but were instead fictional characters created for a movie, I did the rational thing and made my first and only career move into film making. The logic being, maybe I couldn’t be a Ghostbuster, but I could help make them… and hopefully meet one. Before attending film school I toured the country playing rowdy punk music with my non-Ghostbuster best buds. I gained a lot of experience on the road and through it accustomed myself to being exhausted, uncomfortable, and sometimes starving all the while chasing after creativity as fast as our beat-up van would go. I eventually made my way to San Francisco where I attended the Academy of Art University and studied cinematography. I again found myself in a state of lacking human comforts, but overflowing creatively. As a result of that experience and the connections I made within my program I was able to get myself onto set working as a First AC on numerous films, commercials, and music videos, leading me into my current role as a Director of Photography. As such, I practice technically adept filmmaking with a focus on igniting the imagination and pulling on the heart strings of my audience, the kind of film making that would make anyone want to be a Ghostbuster.
