Rene Auguste

Rene was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. His very first exposure to film was at the age of nine, making home videos with a VHS Camcorder, and using a wheeled office chair as a dolly. It was there that he began learning the art of camera movements. Upon completing high school, Rene began his professional career, shooting for a sports production company. In SAE Dubai, he grabbed his first glide-cam, and fell in love with the art of it. After crafting a technique and skill for it, he packed up, and moved to New York, where he attended New York Film Academy. He has been working frequently on many independent productions within New York City, serving as a cinematographer, Steadicam Operator, and Dolly Grip for over twenty productions. He currently resides in Manhattan, where he regularly shares his mastery in the art of camera movement.
