ABOUT
Trent Watts and his crews have filmed over 700 productions, specializing mostly in documentaries, branded content, and commercials. He started his career in Washington, DC, learning to work fast with small crews and minimal resources. After rising to the top of the DC production industry (and building a thriving production company in the process), he recently moved to Brooklyn to further his study of the craft and work with the top filmmakers in the industry. He still has a large network of crew in the DC-Baltimore area and travels down about twice a month for shoots and family.
APPROACH
Trent’s process starts with being a student first…carefully listening to collaborators to understand the story they’re telling, the bigger picture of what they’re trying to accomplish, and the intricacies of their project. With his team of go-to crew, he helps clients determine the best approach to maximize production values AND tell the most compelling story. He enjoys the process of working through the unique technical, logistical, and storytelling challenges of each project, having a solid plan in place, and throwing that plan out to improvise when necessary. On set, he loves fostering a positive collaborative atmosphere, where good ideas can come from anybody, and crew and talent are empowered to work at their fullest potential.
DIVERSITY WELCOME!
Trent is committed to changing the production industry from within, doing his part to transform it into a diverse and inclusive place for people of all backgrounds to reach their potential and share their talents with the world. No matter your race, gender, disability, or LGBTQ+ status, if you’re interested in working with him, say hello!
