Shaw H. Burrows
Cinematographer

Other than I got my first camera at five and my first movie camera at seven where should I start? Well that was 1965 and 67 respectively so needless to say I’ve been doing this for a very long time.

I am a no BS kind of guy who likes to laugh and have fun on a set while still running a very tight shi...

Hi Sean, there is something to be said for a cinematographer with grey hair. There is simply no substitute for experience. Where in Florida do you live? I am working on several projects and looking fo...

Hi Mark, Just finishing up a feature film script on human trafficking and would love to know if the crime scene investigation scenes ring true to a real detective. Drop me a note if you have any interest.

George Monteiro, Underwater Filmmaker

Hi all, I am an underwater filmmaker with a love for the creatures Hollywood has taught us to hate. Can you guess what those creatures are? Yes, you are right. And although they do kill 5-10 people per year, they are being killed and mutilated by the tens of millions for little more than a bowl of s...

I don't do Ticktock but I can see how it's a controversial concept. Sometimes it needs to be to get the awareness out there. Good luck :)

David C. Velasco

Fascinating subject!

George Monteiro

Thanks, we actually got banned from TikTok for "violating community standards" they thought we actually put our 6-year-old actress in the water with real sharks. It took us a month to convince them otherwise.

Amanda Toney

Glad to have you here! The winner of our search for new blood a couple of years ago is a cinematographer for shark week, Kevin Bachar!

George Monteiro

Cool, there is so much in the underwater world that we have yet to film or explore.

Bill Costantini

I forget....is blowing them up to smithereens one of the ways to create unforgettable characters?
