I went ahead and altered the text of the article to be more clear however from what I’m told no agency has anyone under 22.

Ok, so you meant the youngest at the agency you work with. I thought you meant the world! Haha that seemed pretty bold!

I was a paid full time DP at the age of 20 with representation. The NY firm made an exception to represent someone under the age of 22, technically making me the youngest working DP. Personally I’m just trying to learn as much as I can doing something I love.

Hey Alex, a lot of good stff here. I think you are right to point out some of the current obstacles for emerging filmmakers today. I also think that if you are talented and stick with it, youll soon be beyond clients with t2i’s that think they can shoot it on their own. I am curious what you mean by “I am currently the youngest working cinematographer with representation”? Youngest cinematographer in SF? On this site? In the world? How old are you?

Keep it up!

Oh My God Alex, I wish I could be opportune like you to do all of these. Am more than inspired to become a film maker too here in Cameroon and with the little I have, I am doing my best but people like you inspires me a lot to continue in this field and that’s just what am doing. Thanks for being there Alex and I hope we meet one day…
