About
Marcus Cole
I'm a videographer and director based in Los Angeles, specializing in documentary filmmaking, brand films, and cinematic storytelling.
With over 8 years of experience behind the camera, I've had the privilege of working with brands like National Geographic, Patagonia, and Adidas. My work focuses on finding the extraordinary in everyday moments and translating human emotion into visual narrative.
When I'm not filming, you'll find me exploring remote landscapes, experimenting with new camera techniques, or mentoring the next generation of filmmakers.
