DREW DAWSON
cinematographer & filmmaker

CV

“Drew is willing to take visual risks to elevate the script. He doubles down in the face of sometimes profound challenges – even when it might be personally convenient or professionally expedient to take an easier path. Drew’s unique combination of humility, ambition and loyalty to a story will take him to great places.” - Caleb Slain, Director (ICG Magazine, Sept. ‘18)
