Andrew James Abajian

As a filmmaker of documentary films whose background is in photography, I have always had an unwavering faith in the transformative potential of truth-telling in filmmaking. The skill of telling a narrative well despite all of its raw and beautiful flaws and shortcomings. It is, at its very heart, a potent way of expressing love for one another. We are afforded the chance to stop, draw a deep breath, think about where we are in life, and express gratitude for the circumstances in which we find ourselves right now. Because of this, one of the reasons I enjoy working with Kodak 8mm film is that it cannot be altered, polished, falsified, or redirected in any way. It is a mirror that reflects all of the amazing quirks that each of us possesses. It gives us the opportunity to work together and celebrate without holding back. And in light of all of this, I would want to introduce myself to you as your director. Attempting to capture natural light, unprompted laughter, serious moments, boisterous celebrations, and intimate glances because these are the elements that make up your wedding day. A plethora of emotions presented in a manner that is exquisitely sophisticated. Get in touch with me and let's have a talk about it if the thought of letting go and working together on something concrete appeals to you.
