Edward A. Gutentag

Storyteller. Drone artist. Thirty-plus years in the film world — writing, shooting, directing — and still mildly obsessed with perfect lighting and the emotional damage caused by bad framing.

I've worked the camera on The Shawshank Redemption, Spielberg's War of the Worlds, Marvel's Ant-Man, Con Air, and the Oscar-winning documentary Racing Extinction. Add a sitting U.S. President — more than once — and a PSA for His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. I've seen a pretty wide range of humanity through a viewfinder.

These days I'm based on the Florida Panhandle, pointing the same camera at families, couples, and the people making memories on the Emerald Coast. The job is the same every time: find the story hiding inside, drag it into the light, and make it cinematic as hell.
