ABOUT GREG HOLT
An experienced crew member, already on the ground.
I’m Greg Holt, a British filmmaker and camera professional living in Sangerhausen, Germany.
Over the past two decades, I’ve worked on film, television and commercial productions across the UK, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and North America.
My background covers camera departments, camera operating, video playback, data management and on-set technical workflows. I’ve worked on large international sets as well as smaller productions where flexibility and independence are essential.
I understand the practical demands of production: arriving prepared, communicating clearly, working to a brief and making sure the footage is handled properly.
If you’re producing a film or covering an event in Germany and need a dependable local operator, I’d be happy to hear from you.
