RANDALL TOCKES IS A CHICAGO-BASED DIRECTOR | DP 

 

-- GROWING UP IN PEORIA, IL I FOUND THE LOVE OF CINEMATOGRAPHY THROUGH SKATEBOARDING, AS SKATING ENCOURAGES YOU TO LOOK AT EVERY SETTING DIFFERENTLY.   THROUGH CAMERA WORK I FOUND FILM PHOTOGRAPHY AND DEVELOPING, WHICH ONLY FURTHERED MY DRIVE TO TRY NEW THINGS WITH A CAMERA.  CHICAGO WAS A NECESSARY MOVE, TO EXPAND AND THROUGH IT I MET MANY ARTISTS/DIRECTORS WHO HAVE HELPED ME GROW AND AM ALWAYS TRYING TO CONTINUE DOING SUCH.  

 

WHILE IN COLLEGE & AFTER, I SPENT A NUMBER OF YEARS WORKING AS A DESIGNER/FABRICATOR, HAVING WORKED AT A HANDFUL OF  SHOPS AROUND THE CITY, AND ALWAYS LOVE FINDING NEW WAYS TO INCORPORATE MY OTHER TYPES OF WORK & HOBBIES INTO MY PROJECTS.  WHETHER IT BE A UNIQUE LIGHTING ARRAY OR A FILM SET ON WHEELS, THERE'S ALWAYS PLENTY OF POTENTIAL FOR TRYING SOMETHING NEW.

​

I WOULD LOVE TO WORK WITH YOU IN SHAPING THE DIRECTION BEHIND YOUR NEXT PERFORMANCE OR VIDEO
