Warren Purfoy is a LA based Director/Cinematographer/and owner of Purfoy Lighting LLC. He came up in the lighting department as he worked his way to become a lighting gaffer. In fact, that is how I met Warren when he gaffed for a Scooter the Neutered Cat campaign.
His drive and relentlessness kept him wanting more as he then pursued becoming a cinematographer. Warren's approach to capturing images and storytelling through the lens is is pure instinct.
Warren also makes a cameo in my newest course "Directing Cats: Case Study" gives you agency briefs and my winning treatments, plus all production notes. The 17 minute behind the scenes is chalk full of wisdom.
