Writer/Director Frank Armendarez Has A Passion For Table Top Directing.

Filmmaker Frank Armendarez is a writer, director, and editor with my pals at Crown Chimp. Frank got his big break into show business as a PA on the set of fitness infomercials, but parlayed that into a solid career writing, editing and directing.  This interview is inspiring – nothing makes me happier than chatting with a director knowing the path they want to go down. Frank is developing his long form projects while honing his moves in the commercial space. Keep an eye on him.

Frank currently lives in Tucson where he focuses his creative eye on Table Top directing as well as regularly enjoying the best 23 miles of Mexican food in the United States. Here’s some fine work of Frank’s. Check it out.

Shooting Actors Versus Table Top Photography With Cinematographer Jeanne Vienne.

JVienne

Cinematographer Jeanne Vienne is a longtime filmmaking partner. We’ve made literally dozens of commercials, two documentaries and traveled three continents together. I admire how she leads her crew with decisiveness and articulate instruction. Jeanne tells how she lights to protect the actors.

Of late, she’s been shooting mouth-watering table top gigs, so we compare working with fruits and veggies versus actors. We also chat about the trends in cinematography we’ve seen over our years together. And with all the talk about gender inequality in the biz, I could not escape asking how it is being a girl in a predominantly boy’s club.

We reference this fun spot we did for Toyota, and click here to witness Jeanne’s amazing table top spot she shot for Håagen-Dazs with Directors Margaret & Joy.
