"I've worked with Austen Hoogen several times now, and I can say without hesitation that he will be an asset to any project. He speaks the language of cinema, and his ability to light a set quickly and effortlessly certainly means I will be bringing him back on my projects in the future. Austen's on-set temperament matched with his work ethic are even more of the qualities that will keep producers and other D.o.P.'s bringing him back as well."
