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