Bio:

 I am a Director based in New York City, specializing in capturing the human condition.    

I’ve had the pleasure of growing up and living around the United States including Upstate New York, The San Francisco Bay Area, Atlanta, Dallas, and now New York City. This has sparked my curiosity about the variety of life experiences around the world, and how important it is to share those stories that aren’t easily accessed.    

I'm passionate about elevating stories visually. My favorite challenge is transforming complex expressions into visuals. Cinematically representing an individual's emotional experience is my favorite challenge as a director and cinematographer.    

Through a culmination of directing two feature documentaries, multiple award-winning short films, music videos, and commercials Cullen has started his own boutique production company, “Essence Picture Company”.
