Miguel Cordova Cinematographer A self-taught photographer, Miguel stumbled into his love of photography by picking up his brother’s old Fujica camera and taking some black and white landscape pictures. This love of photography led to film jobs such as Technical Director at KYMA (NBC affiliate) and later enrolling in Scottsdale Community College’s film program. Cordova collaborated in over 40 short films in a two-year period. His favorite short film “Shush” (Navajo for “Bear”) in which he was cinematographer, debuted in the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. His first feature film “Fifth World” also debuted at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. While his work has been shown from Norway to New Zealand, Cordova offers his signature MacGyver techniques and Sundance vision to all Cinemaster clients when he’s not busy restoring old bicycles, writing or playing the guitar. His passion: “Pulling off the impossible and getting away with it!” |

Matthew Nieman Matt Nieman is an editor, former soccer player and phenomenally bad basketball player (though he will tell you differently.) Nieman grew up in Los Angeles and for the last two years, has worked as an editor in Arizona. Previously, he worked in the southern California market as an Assistant Editor for three years. Most recently, he has served as lead editor on Cinemaster’s seminar series and loves to give clients a quality production they are satisfied with. He enjoys scoring music to footage and when he’s not listening to music like hip-hop, oldies and jazz, he’s watching The LA Lakers or playing basketball himself. He counts “Heat”, “Jerry McGuire” and “Great Expectations” as some of his top favorites movies and says travel is his favorite literal—and figurative—way to escape the Valley’s heat . |
