AUSTIN HILGENBERG
Director of Photography
Drone Pilot

“Hard work is always the solution for me.”

I was born into a family of creative thinkers as my mother and sister are both professional photographers today. However, my love for film started in my youth filming on VHS tapes with friends, inspired by the stupidity of the show Jackass. I have always had a passion for remote-controlled vehicles and in 2015, I flew my first drone. The ability to control a flying camera jet fueled my passion to film school at GCU, where I graduated with a degree in Digital Media and Production. 

I am a geek for gear and the overflowing advancements that improve how we tell stories with lights and motion. I love going the extra mile to capture that special shot that makes it all worth it. I have worked on TV Shows, National Commercials, Corporate, Small Business Ads, Published Digital Print, and Creative Social Content. I am a Director of Photography, a Licensed Drone Pilot, and an FPV fanatic. When I’m not filming, I’m outside enjoying the outdoors.. wishing I brought my camera!
