Hey, I’m Chad.

DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY | CAM OP

I am a filmmaker and founder of The Pierson Collective; I craft films that are visually compelling, human, and rooted in truth. As a creative problem solver, I partner with agencies and producers with flexibility, focus, and a commitment to helping their vision, and their clients succeed.

I love exploring the alchemy of storytelling: how camera movement, lensing, performance, and score combine to convey emotion and truth. On set, I bring a calm, collaborative presence, technical problem-solving, and an unwavering focus on the story.

Based in the Southeast, always ready to travel.
