crafting stories that connect

Hi, I’m Cedric Letsch - a freelance Gaffer (Chief Lighting Technician) and aspiring Cinematographer (Director of Photography) based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I own and operate a versatile grip, lighting, and camera package tailored for small to mid-sized productions across corporate, documentary, commercial, and music video work. Credits include Netflix, OpenAI, Microsoft, Ticketmaster, and the NBA. I’m always excited to collaborate with passionate creatives and production teams - let’s connect and bring your next project to life!
