Garrett O'Brien grew up in Maryland, where he would go on to receive his undergraduate degree at Mount St. Mary's University. After filming professional snowboarders for a documentary, he later found his calling in narrative filmmaking as a cinematographer. While obtaining his master's degree in film from American University in Washington, D.C he shot several award winning short films such as, Waiting on a Train, Fractured Legacy and Constant. Those films premiered at local and foreign festivals, also winning 'Best of Local short' for DC Shorts Films Festival, winning Lucerne International Film Festival and even receiving distribution. Over his years of experience Garrett has come to find a common thread in his cinematography; "when we're able to pursue the film's inherent visual language, then it becomes possible to invoke pathos within our audience."
