Hi, I’m Calvin Kertzman!

Two people in a studio with electronic and mechanical equipment, engaged in conversation. The man is wearing a black hoodie and a beige cap, gesturing with his hand. The woman has shoulder-length dark hair tied back with a purple hair tie.

I'm a filmmaker and photographer from Manila, now living in Los Angeles. I grew up surrounded by Southeast Asian cities and all kinds of movies, thanks to my parents' very different but equally lively tastes.

A man smiling and wearing a beige baseball cap, with a woman beside him, both illuminated by a soft light in a dark environment.

I capture unique and personal moments, whether on set or on the street. Right now, I’m juggling personal projects, client work, and growing my production brand, Smile and a Wink. My goal is simple: create honest and memorable work.

That mix of contrasts and curiosity still inspires my work. I hope you see it in the images and stories here. My projects include storytelling through film, photography, and the strange and amazing in between.
