Starry Eyed Adventure

Written By Derek Johnson

A short Clip from the shoot.

I joined Starry Eyed Christmas as a producer and Director of Photography after being brought onto the project by two fellow producers. I handled much of the production infrastructure—including contracts, equity agreements, the finance plan, budgeting, and crew hiring—while also shaping the film’s visual approach as DP.

I am a film producer, director, cinematographer, and sometimes writer.

I have a lifelong addiction to cameras, stories, and pizza. I am also known to go to unbelievable lengths to find a great cup of coffee.

I am known for creating powerful interviews that go really, really deep into storytelling and creative excellence in my cinematography. I am the founder of Kaifilms, a boutique film production company.

My first achievement in film production was documenting 9/11 in NYC, which led to 10 feature and 4 Emmy credits. I currently have several production films and an episodic true crime docuseries.
