Hi, my name is Jackson Burns. I'm a graduate from Chapman University's Dodge College of Film and Media Arts, majoring in film production with an emphasis in cinematography. I also co-own Peer To Peer Gear (camera rental company), and Capital P Productions (creative agency).
When I'm not filling the role of the director of photography, my passion is working on the camera team. Filmmaking has been, is, and always will be my passion, and I hope (and believe) that my hard work ethic proves that statement. Throughout the last few years, I have learned an immeasurable amount, and it's my goal to continue learning in any way possible.
Currently, my cinematographic influences are: Dick Pope, Emmanuel Lubezki, Conrad Hall, and Christopher Doyle.
Movies that inspire my work include: The Worst Person in the World, Ratcatcher, The Zone of Interest, A Brighter Summer Day, and High and Low.
I am well aware that the film industry is... oversaturated. What I feel I can offer that none else can is a hunger for work. I'm ready and willing to start paying my dues professionally in any capacity, especially if it means doing it on a film set. The art of filmmaking is my one true passion, and if there is anything in my power to help make a vision come to life, I'll see that it gets done.
