About Rich K.

I've been shooting and editing video for the past eight years, but I've shot political and social-justice events stretching back to the '90s. Even got a few pieces to air on KCET, at the time the Los Angeles PBS affiliate, when I worked for CamNet the Camcorder Network. I continue to be most interested in issues involving social causes and political movements (LGBTQ+ issues, in particular). I have a portfolio site (linked below) where you can watch some of my work, and am armed with a Panasonic Lumix GH5, a Canon 1080 HD camcorder with both external and lav microphones, and a tripod. Also have a GoPro Hero 5 and an iPhone 8. I edit on Adobe Premiere Pro, but do iMovie for quickie no-frills projects. Please check out my work, I hope you'll like what you see. -- Rich
