​Hi there! My name is Dean Milan, a director, cinematographer, photographer, and colorist! When I was a lot younger, I spent my free time exploring different hobbies, sports and other activities. After lots of scouting, I decided to stay true to what I always came back to! Filmmaking: cinema and other media production!

 

I opened a YouTube channel back in April 2016. Ever since, I've embraced a love for cinematography, storytelling, analog film, and capturing the world around me, molding projects into something I can share with an audience!

 

While in Cypress Bay High, I was part of a large club team that made weekly episodes for our show called "Aftershock". It was my first leap into the wild west of media creation. I got to experience creating documentaries, local news spots, music videos, short films, dramas, comedic skits, and so much more. I also competed in media programs like Student Television Network (STN), SkillsUSA, and Becon TV.

 

On the side lines, I work with photography, both digital and analog. Being able to shoot on film, develop it, and bundle the digital scans of film with my colorist skills has given me some stunning results, thanks mainly to Kodak stock, Lightroom Classic, and NegativePro! This extended further into motion picture capture at SCAD, where I get to learn how to use the Panavision Panaflex cameras, ARRIFLEX systems, Bolex H16, and much more!

 

I've graduated from both Cypress Bay in 2021 and the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2025 as a Film/TV Production major (Bachelor of Fine Arts) with a minor in Sound Design! I strive to learn from and participate in projects, sets, and crews I have the privilege to work with. I love what I do, and I work hard, continuing my path to expand my skills and portfolio every day.​

 

Thanks bunches,

Dean Milan
