About

Contact: matt@cianfranifilms.com

I am an award winning cinematographer, ICG Local 600 member, standard, handheld, gimbal / remote head camera operator, FAA Part 107 Commercial Drone Pilot In Command, Hydroflex / Underwater Technician and Climbing / Mountaineering Rope Access specialist.

I have worked globally for organizations like CNN, PBS, Apple+, Channel 4, the Swiss Foreign Ministry.

This work has taken me to China, Russia, Greenland, Kosovo, Vietnam, Tanzania, Moldova, Mongolia, Peru, Bolivia, to name a few. These opportunities often led me to areas characterized by poverty and conflict, but also places of incredible natural beauty and the deepest humanity.

I prioritize my time for documentary and narrative projects with a humanitarian focus. I’m happy to discuss any projects that address the inequalities and struggles, the victories and celebrations that make up the human condition.
