About Hayden

I was raised near Dallas, Texas, and I have been fascinated by filmmaking since I watched The Polar Express in theaters when I was 3 years old. I initially pursued engineering and mathematics in high school and college, working summers as an actuarial intern. During the pandemic, I became disillusioned with that career path and pivoted into film production with a strong emphasis on camera and lighting. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Science of Radio-Television-Film in 2023. During my two years at the University of Texas, I gained extensive knowledge of camera systems, lighting, and composition through my experience on both student and professional sets including 10+ director of photography credits. When I'm not on set, I enjoy film photography, learning about geography on YouTube, and trying new restaurants around Austin.
