Mariscela Mendez

I recently studied for a year at The American Film Institute Conservatory and have been working on both SD and HD projects as a Cinematographer, Camera Operator, Camera Assistant, Best Boy, and Grip. I am based in Los Angeles and can also work as a local in San Antonio and Austin, Texas. I am available to travel, and I have a valid passport. I enjoy working on narrative and documentary projects, and I have a particular affinity for shooting in black and white. I would love to travel the world as a cinematographer working on features, shorts, documentaries, commercials, and music videos.
