On working with Mike.
“I can safely say that Mike is one of the most dedicated and creative cinematographers I have worked with. His ability to bring to life our vision for the film, regardless of the location and budgetary challenges, was second to none.”
“Your skills and knowledge are second to none and your kindness, openness and collaboration are invaluable.”

Choose “Something else” and explain what you need. If the session isn’t a good fit for my experience, I’ll contact you before it takes place.
