William Christensen

William started his career as a photographer's assistant in NYC. It wasn't until the video DSLR revolution in 2010 that he discovered the role of cinematographer. With a newfound passion for storytelling, William embarked on a four-year journey studying cinematography at Columbia College in Chicago and partaking in the facilitation of the visual language that has defined the films he's worked on. Now a cinematography fellow at AFI, William remains incredibly devoted to the craft of storytelling and using the medium of cinematography to bring to life the vivid worlds and characters rooted in the script.
