James Hill

With over a dozen years of professional working experience in Hollywood, James Hill has been in front of the camera as well as behind the camera where he has worn many different hats.

For six years he was the Senior Technician of the Media Services Dept. for the American Film Institute-AFI in Los Angeles. During his tenure at AFI he added to his behind the camera knowledge with the art of story telling from being involved with one of the top film schools in the country, for an experience that James says was "essentially being paid to go to film school."

In the last several years he has now become a "Preditor" -producer/shooter/editor - and has clients from N.Y.C. to Boston. He is currently wrapping up the movie "Shore Thing" serving as Co Director, Director of Photography and Editor, a new movie about mysterious shark attacks in New York. James serves as the Technical Operations Manager for RIIFF each August where he oversees are all screening venues, equipment and staff.
