VMX Crew Spotlight: 1st AC Kingslea Bueltel



We here at Team VMX would like for you to not only know the cast, but the great crew who will be on board this great project. Since it is in fact the holiday season and we did our spotlight on Virgin Mary the other day, then why not keep with the same theme and focus on a KING! Kingslea Bueltel VMX's 1st AC!

If you're not sure what a 1st AC is - here's the definition. Responsibilities include building, transporting and maintaining the camera; changing and caring for lenses; pulling focus; supporting the DP and executing all technical demands. Essentially Kingslea handles the technical side of any camera issues so the DP (Director of Photography) can concentrate on creative, aesthetic aspects of production.

Award-winning Canadian writer/director Aaron Sorensen gave Kingslea her start in the camera department by hiring her as an AC on his Austin-lensed sophomore film Campus Radio. In the year and a half she's worked as an AC, she has crewed 3 feature films, 9 music videos (one of which was nominated for 3 BET Hip Hop awards), 2 documentaries, and 8 short films.

Kingslea has worked for renowned Directors of Photography such as Jan Keisser, Zeus Morand, Graham Futerfas, Khamisi Norwood, and the brilliant RON GONZALEZ who will be VMX's DP.

Kingslea speacializes in the Red Camera. The Red Cam is changing the film industry. Just ask Steven Soderbergh, Peter Jackson, and Ron Gonzalez.
