DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY & DIT

GRIM NIGHT

What is Grim Night?

"Grim Night" is a short film I helped create for my Television Series Production class at Ithaca College, where we were tasked with producing two Twilight Zone-style episodes. My group of eight worked on the episode "Grim Night," and during production took on multiple roles, including associate producer, DIT, B camera operator, colorist, and co-director of photography alongside Leah Waessa. Leah focused on shot framing while I handled lighting design, mood, and color. As associate producer, I expanded our crew from 8 to 17, significantly speeding up production. My technical expertise led me to volunteer as DIT, and I stepped into the B camera operator and colorist roles as needed. This project marked my first time applying my lighting and cinematography skills, and I'm proud of the results we achieved.
