Senior🎓
Top SchoolJeff Hitchcock is a versatile producer and technical creative with nine years of experience blending theatrical rigging and lighting expertise with film cinematography, camera operation, gaffing, editing, and motion graphics. Based on a BFA in Theatre Design/Production, he has built a career running lighting desks (ETC Ion/Express/Obsession II), assembling stages, and programming cues for live performance while also budgeting shoots, hiring crews, and delivering finished video assets for clients through his production company Szed.
