About me

Caitlin Machak is a cinematographer and member of the International Cinematographers Guild (IATSE Local 600) who trained at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and FAMU International in Prague.

On & off-set, she loves music, activism, and nerdy things.

As a 2nd Unit and Additional Cinematographer, Caitlin contributed to the Netflix original series "The Iliza Shlesinger Sketch Show" and "Friends from College," on which she also operated.

The Nerd Daily called "The Tale of the Daughter" “one of the most unique and entertaining shorts to have played at [HollyShorts] this year.” The short has won the Audience Choice Winner (Short Film) at the Lone Star Film Festival, and Caitlin has been awarded Best Cinematography at the Alameda International Film Festival, as well as nominated for the Juan Ruiz Anchia Award for Best Cinematography for a Featurette at Idyllwild CinemaFest 2022. Caitlin shot "Ask for Jane," the first narrative feature film about The Jane Collective which Gloria Steinham said “should be seen by every American.” FREE THE WORK featured "Hollow" by artist Hope Littwin in their October 2020 Music Video Round-up. "Don’t Forget to Remember" released on DUST, a platform for thought-provoking sci-fi content. On the festival circuit, her films have screened at Cannes, Hamptons, OutFest, Flickers’ RIIFF, Woodstock, Napa Valley, BendFilm, and HollyShorts to name a few.

Caitlin worked her way up through the camera department on projects such as Netflix's "House of Cards" and HBO's "GIRLS," learning from world-renowned cinematographers and camera operators along the way.
