Director, Editor, and DP Nick Neofitidis shares stories from his days starting out in the MTV News gear closet, shifting into field work, and eventually getting to shoot and travel as the lone DP. The few essential tools he could bring in his kit were only as useful as the street smarts he had to pick up when traveling through places like South Africa, India, and Peru.
These skills positioned him to be the perfect choice to DP "Reincarnated" the documentary film that captured Snoop Dogg's journey to Jamaica. Tune in and listen to Slick Nick's journey as the one man band and how these experiences shaped his career as a DP.
