GUS BRUM
Cinematographer
STATEMENT
With over 25 years in the film industry and more than 150 IMDb credits, my career has been driven by a deep passion for visual storytelling and the craft of cinematography. I began as a gaffer on major productions like Wilde Salome with Al Pacino and Turbulence/Estorvo, which competed at Cannes for the Palme d’Or. Those early years shaped my understanding of professional filmmaking and led me to become an experienced Director of Photography.
I’ve shot feature films, documentaries, music videos, commercials, EPKs, and infomercials, and also worked extensively in television as a lighting designer. My dedication to the craft has earned me four Emmy Awards, and I've designed lighting for theater productions such as Corpus Delicti at Disney Hall. I’ve also shared my experience through workshops at UC Berkeley and other institutions.
On every set, I bring technical expertise, creativity, and a strong work ethic, always respecting the director’s vision while balancing artistic goals with practical realities. My commitment to collaboration and excellence continues to fuel my work and my love for the medium.
