Bio

- Christian Adkins is an LA-based cinematographer/camera operator from Indianapolis, Indiana. Credits include Emmy award-winning TV shows "The Bear" (Hulu), "Variety Studio: Actors on Actors"(PBS), "The Shop"(HBO), and Recipe for Change (Springhill). I enjoy projects related to the pursuit of the American dream and what that pursuit COULD look like for each of us. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6607305/
