Edward A. Gutentag

Storyteller. Drone artist. Thirty-plus years in the film world — writing, shooting, directing — and still mildly obsessed with perfect lighting and the emotional damage caused by bad framing.

I've worked the camera on The Shawshank Redemption, Spielberg's War of the Worlds, Marvel's Ant-Man, Con Air, and the Oscar-winning documentary Racing Extinction. Add a sitting U.S. President — more than once — and a PSA for His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. I've seen a pretty wide range of humanity through a viewfinder.

These days I'm based on the Florida Panhandle, pointing the same camera at $5M beachfront listings, family-run businesses, and the kind of painfully awkward "About Us" pages that haven't been touched since 2014. The job is the same every time: find the story hiding inside, drag it into the light, and make it cinematic as hell.
