Howdy

Name’s D’Onjre D Young. I’m a dedicated, Atlanta-based 1st AC with around eight years of experience working in the Camera Dept. I’ve worked on dozens of productions ranging from music videos to feature-length projects, so I'm fully capable and, more importantly, competent with my abilities as a 1st. I view my position as a collaborator with the Director of Photography, working closely with them to ensure that the camera team runs smoothly and that the production runs as efficiently as possible.

Been on a lotta fun and challenging projects that pushed me each time to grow and learn to be both a better storyteller and leader. I pride myself on being a career AC: developing a fascination for figuring out the technical aspects of cinema in order to support production as best as I can. Coming from a family of non-creatives, it was a massive surprise to everyone that I was even doing this, so…go me.

I’m also the Co-Founder of Something Weird Media(SWM), a production company with a passion for providing indie-level productions the tools to reach beyond their goal. Our team comes together on all scales of production when no single person can do it on their own. Think of it like the Avengers, but with a lot less avenging and a lot more tedious paperwork.

-I guess if it matters, I’m an award-winning screenwriter.
