Bloom was shot over six days on an ALEXA Mini LF using Masterbuilt lenses. The film required more than 150 unique setups in nearly 20 locations with only minimal crew and equipment. A nimble production was key to the visual approach, and a creative atmosphere was encouraged among all crew to experiment in the film’s vibrant world.
Andrew continues to promote creative growth and inclusivity in all of his projects. Between filming you can find him exploring new cuisines, taking photographs and hiking with his loyal dog, Mason.
