ABOUT

Drew Gardella is an LA based cinematographer and graduate of Chapman University’s Dodge College of Film and Media Arts. After watching Jaws at the age of four, Drew took on a fascination for anything with scales and sharp teeth which has primarily led him to the horror genre; although his taste for dynamic camera movement and stylish lighting has also found him his seat in commercials where he has shot branded content for clients such as Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Motortrend, and RM Sotheby’s. When he’s not on set, you can usually find him somewhere by the sea, fishing rod in hand..
