CHandler Zastrow // Cinematographer & Editor

Hello and welcome to CZVP, my little creative oasis in the corner of the internet.

I am a cinematographer and editor who has spent the last 7 years honing my craft and working—in-house and freelance—for startups, mid-size companies, YouTube sensations and individuals to produce short films, company content and tell stories for brands I believe in. 

As the son of a retired Air Force colonel, I’ve lived all over the world—shaping not only me as a person but how I approach creative projects. I take pride in bringing ingenuity to my work to usher even the smallest fraction of an idea to life—exercising flexibility and trying new techniques with an optimistic outlook. 

I use various methods to create evocative, crisp, high-quality, natural-feeling pieces that achieve my client’s overall vision (the most critical part!). As a partner, I am self-motivated and self-reflective, and highly value open communication, feedback and personal and professional growth. 

If you’re interested in seeing my work, please visit my reel. 

If you’d like to reach out to learn more about my experience or discuss how we can work together (or if you’d just like to see a photo of my two cats), please drop me a line.
