Hello,

I'm Ronan, a narrative cinematographer and documentary filmmaker based in Burlington, Vermont, and the San Francisco Bay Area. I tell personal stories through film, creating shared cinematic experiences that provide moments of reflection and discovery. My films have played in festivals across the country and featured on PBS. Along with my work on set and in post, I'm the creator and developer of FrameUp, a director/cinematographer viewfinder app.
