Hi, my name is Austin. I’m a cinematographer, director, & filmmaker.
Based in the Midwest, I specialize in documentary-style and commercial productions. My focus is on telling real, grounded stories that connect people to the brands, places, and communities behind them.
My work spans branded docs, short-form commercials, and TV. Often in industries like agriculture, tourism, sports, and food & beverage. I’ve filmed for shows like Discover Wisconsin, Into the Outdoors, and Uniquely Wisconsin, and recently worked on a documentary with Lone Wolf Studios, the team behind Netflix’s How to Rob a Bank and Amanda Knox.
When I’m not acting as DP on other teams’ shoots, I run my own production company, Rooster Rooster Creative Company, where I focus on story-driven content for brands and organizations.
I started in marketing, which still shapes how I approach storytelling. Bringing a strong sense of narrative, audience, and purpose to every project. For me, it’s a privilege to help someone tell their story or visually capture the spirit of a company in a way that actually resonates.
I’m currently focused on branded documentaries and commercial work that puts story first. I’m available for freelance work, production partnerships, and new creative collaborations. If you’ve got a project in the works or just want to talk through an idea, I’d love to hear from you.
