Keaton Bowlby

Residing on the west coast but always following the next adventure, moving cameras with speed is the name of the game. Russian arm, camera car, drone - you name it, Keaton straps a camera to it with a unique crew of young cinematographers. If the tool he needs isn’t around, he will make it, regardless of the complexity. Come join him in paradise, or as most know it, Lake Tahoe, for a backcountry powder day or go for a summertime boar cruise. Always push forward and always have fun.

With over 25 years of cinema sales and professional on-set experience, James has evolved into a technical and creative go-to in the “high-end digital film” revolution and continues to push the bar through traditional filmmaking and advanced technologies.

Kevin Lau

Kevin Lau set up his first company providing digital video encoding during the industry’s infancy in Singapore. He moved on to co-found Widescreen Media Pte Ltd, a company that pioneered Stereoscopic 3D filming and consultation in Southeast Asia . He trained the crew and filmed the first digital 3D movie in China “Flying Swords of Dragon Gate”(2011) directed by veteran Hong Kong Director Tsui Hark and had a box office of USD$100 million. He has worked extensively on projects throughout Southeast Asia and China including providing stereoscopic consultation for Stephen Chow’s “The Mermaid 3D” and Korean VFX blockbuster “Mr Go”. He has been an expert RED camera user since 2007 and has conducted training for RED users throughout Asia including Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia and Malaysia.

Ian Wee

While Ian was still a Director at Widescreen Media Pte Ltd, he supervised post-production for broadcast programs and feature films and helped spearhead Stereoscopic 3D production in Asia. As part of his job scope at Widescreen, he developed bespoke workflows for 2D and S3D production and post-production. This required him to find high-quality yet cost-effective ways to lead productions all the way from shoot, to post to final delivery on the cinema screen. This is the value he continues to bring to every project he directs today – that balance of creative fervor with technical acumen. Ian is also a director who is gifted both creatively and technically and is able to understand all the various components that make up a film. And as an explorer of the bleeding-edge and nascent, Ian is constantly using new digital technologies in his work to push the limits of what's possible. As a result of these uncommon qualities that set him apart, Ian is a sought-after professional, and he has been privileged to work on many international co-productions, mainly in documentary and feature films. Ian is also Blackmagic DaVinci Certified Instructor and Dolby Vision Certified Professional who has conducted training for companies like Disney, HBO, Fox Sports, Globecast and Meta among others.
