Today we’d like to introduce you to Robert Cain.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Robert. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I started as a visual artist when I was quite young which developed into a passion for still photography from there, it was inevitable that I would continue my journey in the cinematic arts. I worked my way up from P/A (production assistance) to Director of photography and then Director. I broke out on in the mid 90’s and have been working to provide excellent service to my clients and to constantly improve my craft.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
One of the biggest challenges for those who are in the creative field is trying to balance the creative vision with the business aspect which is very different skills. Running an independent production company has required me to learn how to manage all aspects of the business and whether the lean times. There have been times I was convinced that I would have to go get a “real” job.

Do you look back particularly fondly on any memories from childhood?
I would listen to my Dad tell me stories and jokes for hours, some of them hilarious, some not so much and that’s where I developed my love of storytelling.
