You are the unsung hero of filmmaking, capturing dialogue and sound, all while holding a heavy boom out of frame.

You are the organizer that puts equipment where it needs to be. Without you, there are no cameras, no tracks, and no dollies.

You are the base of the production. You make light happen, and, in film, nothing can work without light.

You are the workhorse of the production. You are the first in line to make images magical.

AKA, the Sayombhu Mukdeeprom . Recognized as an artist in your own right, you are the person for whom the phrase “painting with light” was made.

AKA, the Henry Golding. Your beautiful face brings happiness, sadness, fear, and elation to audiences everywhere.

AKA the Mindy Kaling. You make the words that form the backbone of the film. You give characters desire, wit, adoration, and make them the humans that audiences grow to love.

AKA, the Abbas Kiarostami. You are the master of your domain—the film set—and make every piece fall into place. It’s your job to bring meaning from chaos.

AKA, the Akira Kurosawa. You are the executive who makes it happen. You see brilliance and allow it to shine.
