FORREST MORI, DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY
Growing up in Santa Barbara, Forrest began his love of photography by shooting film with a Kodak Instamatic. He landed his first regular gig with his father’s Nikon in tow documenting student life for the Santa Barbara High School yearbook. Never without his eye on a viewfinder, he worked at a camera store to earn an employee discount to purchase a Nikon of his own.
Forrest has captured everything from life events like weddings and celebrations for family and friends, to pro bono work for nonprofits. One of his earliest filmmaking projects supported local community members in fundraising for clean water in the DR Congo, raising over 1 million dollars. As a Director of Photography, Forrest continues to depict the essence of human connections and experiences.
