Director of Photography — John Matysiak

Born and raised in Houston, Texas, John Matysiak completed his study of film at Emerson College in Boston. Through the guidance of his mentors he directed and photographed numerous student and independent projects, including several award winning shorts and music videos.

In addition to his study at Emerson, John was selected to study at the Czech National Film School, FAMU, in Prague. Where he was instructed and mentored by international cinematographers and directors.

“Working side-by-side Czech cinematographers and producers was an experience that changed the way I approach my craft.”

Before moving to Los Angeles John worked in Europe, Canada and Mexico. John has since been working as a freelance director of photography and cameraman shooting independent features, international music videos and television based out of LA. While he has worked for such networks as ShowTime, E!, MTV, Style, and Comedy Central, he enjoys the creative freedom associated with independent filmmaking, and excels in bringing high production value to the screen on a tight budget.
