Who am I?
DP/Gaffer/Grip. Plant Dad. Bookworm.
My name is Matteus W. Rabel, and I am a filmmaker living in Chicago. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, raised in a world saturated by a love for the environment, writing, and artistry. I work with individual artists, writers, non-profits, and small businesses as a creative mind, director of photographer, and lighting technician. For upwards of five years, I have promoted storytellers and craftspeople through film. I has been an active member of the commercial and documentary industry, which has allowed me to excel as both a technician and a leading creative.
