Directing:
Austen got his start in theater as an actor. His passion for working with actors and cinematic artists leads to an open, creative and productive set. Austen does his homework when directing a new script and he comes to work knowing exactly what to do. His open and caring attitude is supportive to the creative contributions of his team.
Austen's philosophy about directing is that it is his job to filter bad and ineffective ideas from solid and creative innovations so that the project can benefit from the best of all possibilities. Whether those ideas come from the client, the director of photography, the production designer, the editor, the composer or from Austen himself, he is always devoted to the idea that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Cinematography:
The transitioning element between Austen's days in theater to his career in motion picture production was aided by still photography. Austen has a passion for image creation, cameras, fine art and lighting. One of Austen's best assets as a cinema professional is that he devotes himself to his job and always seeks to be a constructive team player: he will always go the extra mile to make each production the best that it can be. His happiness and contentment come from providing an expertise and level of satisfaction that continually surprise his colleagues and clients.

"Austen is a great asset to have on set - he knows his stuff and pitches in wherever he can help. I have worked with him on many projects as a Gaffer and he always takes the right amount of time to light a scene to maximum effect. I would love to work with him again in the future."
—John Carrozza, Producer
