1st Assistant Camera Matt Emmanuel on set on an indie narrative feature in Oakland California

Hello World! I’m a Focus Puller based in Oakland, CA. I enjoy figuring out the technical aspects of cinema. Please explore my resume, gear list, and, set photos of recent multicam, film, gimbal, and Steadicam projects. I can also connect you to local crew and rental houses!

A bit about me: I’m ½ Chamorro Islander, ¼ Chinese, and ¼ Indian. I’m from Hawai’i but grew up in the Bay. I started in Broadcast as an Editor and Camera Op before switching to Film Production where I’ve worked up the ranks from Loader to career 1st AC.

🤙🏾 Matt Emmanuel
