About me

Drew Suppa is a Cinematographer and IATSE 600 Camera Operator living in Los Angeles, CA.

Receiving formal instruction from the University of Central Florida’s limited-access Film BFA program, Drew's love of light and image came through an opportunity provided through family friends of Allen Daviau, ASC (E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Empire of the Sun) afforded Drew the ability to study the craft of lighting first-hand from one of the great cinematographic masters, two-time Academy Award-winner John Toll, ASC (Braveheart, Legends of the Fall).

Though trained on 16 and 35mm motion picture film, Drew was an early proponent of digital acquisition systems and has been mastering modern cinematic heavyweights since. His camera work has taken him to 25 countries across 6 continents, and in the most extreme and remote of locations: north of the Arctic Circle and the world’s second largest body of fresh water, Lake Tanganyika.

Drew’s narrative work has been showcased internationally at the 2011 Festival de Cannes’ Court Metrage and has placed in the Top 10 in respective categories at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival’s Project: Direct and the 2014 Producer’s Guild of America’s Make Your Mark short film competitions.
