Who I am
I am a 25 year-old cinematographer, director, photographer, film editor, and drone pilot from the Chicago-land area. I created Steve Zilberman Productions in January 2011. Since then I have filmed and edited for a variety of projects such as music videos, commercial advertisement, online promotional videos, documentaries, and more. I have experience hiring extra hands on set such as camera operators, wardrobe/makeup persons, PAs, sound persons, gaffers, producers, directors, as well as casting actors/actresses and youthful artists. For most projects I write scenes, create storyboards/shots lists, write up budget breakdowns, and work with the clients to bring out their vision as best as possible. I have won three years in a row in a documentary film festival I entered, had my work displayed in a Danish museum as part of an exhibit, have many published/televised videos, and I work with various celebrities and talent. I specialize as a DP in low light cinematography, fluid camera movement, and non-conventional framed shots. As of Janruary 1st 2017, I have 60 million+ views and have over 300 videos I have created. I am highly skilled in operating a camera and film equipment, drone operating, understand all film terminology, and I am fluent in editing software.
