From Disney films to Bruce Lee films to the Blaxploitation Genre of the 70’s, Todd escaped to the cinema to fill his imagination.
When not at the movies, Todd could be found at the basketball courts around the city, where he honed his skills to become one of the cities top point guards. When he got to high school, he split his time between the gym and his love of photography and film production where he took every photography class and ran the high school tv studio. When it was time for college, he chose to study cinematography at the University of Southern California.
After graduating with degree in Cinema-TV Production from USC, an internship at a production company begat a production assistant job that led to working as a camera loader and eventually to a 2nd Assistant Camera position on a feature film. While climbing the camera department and union ladders, Todd was constantly shooting music videos, spec commercials, documentaries and short films.
Working as a Camera Operator, Todd landed his first big break in episodic television- the pilot Entourage for HBO. He hand held the 35mm film camera of Entourage until he became the full time Director of Photography.
Todd has helmed critically acclaimed shows like Longmire and Crazy Ex Girlfriend. He is presently looking for a feature film. Todd is still an avid basketball player and added soccer to his athletic repertoire.
