I am both a cinematographer and still photographer. I have been attempting to break into the New Mexico industry since I left Los Angeles 4 years ago and have not been able to meet anyone in New Mexico to break into the local film industry.

Hi, Jerry Maestas. I've seen you on Stage 32, but I think this is the first time we've spoken. How are you?

William Plummer

Jerry I think the type of cameras doesn't matter, I have cameras and good lens for 1080p films full frame Canon 5D with RF 50mm lens and Sigma lens, but you have the photography experience. Just stay in touch on this page.
