The People of Camera Hogs

 On our last blog I introduced the company and how we came to be. In this blog, I'd like to delve more into the individuals that make up Camera Hogs. Today I'd like to let you know a bit more about Levi Hart, Chief Editor as well as myself- Marilyn Brindis, Executive Director.

Our creative editor, Levi Hart, has been an asset to the company since he joined on in the fall of 2007. 
"My name is Levi, I'm 20yrs old and a graduate this spring from DACC's Creative Media. Other than school projects I've been focusing mostly on editing projects for Camerahogs LLC, but have interests in furthering my skills in operating the camera and producing media. Along with my skills in editing and production, I want to pursue my passion for writing stories and screenplays. Overall, i don't shy away from any aspect of film because it is my passion."

The love of art seems to have always been ingrained in me since I can remember. Born in Mexico City and mostly raised in Albuquerque, I come from a very unique and diverse cultural background. I have always absorbed my surroundings and experiences which has influenced me into becoming an artistic and unique visual story teller. My love of art has always been well-rounded, from music to drawing and painting to acting and cinema; and has always been open to, and inspired by, cultures worldwide.

Going into the film industry with the knowledge of the amazingly talented competition we face has been a rough yet determined experience. The art in cinema has lit a burning flame of undeniable passion within me. A good cinematographer and director must be organized, driven, outgoing. They must be critical thinkers and always be on their feet and ready for the worst. Directors must be empathetic and have great communication skills. They must be loved and feared. The film industry can be a viscous one; but with a full force drive for the love of it, it can be a quite rewarding and exciting career.

It is a long and hard road to the success I would like to obtain, but the work is rewarding and satisfying. I can’t imagine myself doing anything else as a career. I have always found joy and love in the art of filmmaking and video. I would like to one day be able to use my art to help people in any way I can through the art of film.

Stay tuned for more insight into the people behind Camera Hogs...
