I'm George, a cinematographer and editor who creates impactful film & TV in a variety of formats: fiction, documentary, branded content, music videos, interviews and news features. Regardless of format, crafting engaging character-driven narratives that are visually bold, entertaining, informative, and inspiring is my priority. I love to work in visual storytelling that is driven by music, dance, and human emotion.
In 2021, I replaced skyscrapers with spires, and relocated from New York to the heart of Europe: Prague, Czech Republic. I’m currently pursuing a graduate degree in Cinematography at FAMU and collaborating with independent artists, production companies, and networks worldwide. Recent clients include: CNBC Digital, NBC News, Esquire, and Serhant Media Group. I’m also the co-founder and visual producer of Temple Of, a new music & arts collective in Prague.
I began my career in television news & documentary in New York. As a producer for NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt, I was able to travel the U.S. and the world in pursuit of captivating visual stories that touched at the zeitgeist. My work has premiered at film festivals worldwide and earned News & Doc Emmy and Webby nominations, along with a New York Press Club Award.
