Loren Graves is a director, cinematographer, visual artist and writer. After graduating with a BFA in Film and Digital Media from UC San Diego he started a career in the Hollywood machine working in network production offices for Fox, ABC, Disney and the CW.
As a former baseball player, he left Southern California to work for Major League Baseball as a producer for the Boston Red Sox and the Florida Marlins, which then led him to launch his first production company that specialized in sports related content where he picked up clients such as NASCAR, Kawasaki and Monster Energy’s Supercross series.
When the thrill of motorsports wore, off he moved back home to the Bay Area to write and produce narrative scripts while shooting for commercial clients such as Apple, Toyota, Google and Genentech.
In 2019 he partnered with Matt Damon’s Pearl Street Films developing documentary projects to drive awareness toward diversity in the tech world and the tangled politics of gun control in the US.
When not teaching commercial production and cinematography or grinding it out on set, he likes to spend his time shooting fashion and lifestyle photography, painting, writing for various rock and metal blogs and playing softball in every over the hill league that’ll have him.
