Embedded Files
Evan Makarov is a Southern California–based filmmaker and photographer with a strong sharp eye for visual storytelling and an efficient approach to film production. His passion began when he was a child, making home movies with his family. Since then, he evolved into a disciplined craft backed by a degree from Woodbury University and extensive on-set experience.
Evan has written, directed, and edited over 10 original projects, serving as cinematographer on most of them, demonstrating both creative vision and control. His experience extends far beyond his own work, contributing to a great many student and professional short films and commercials in roles including cinematographer, camera assistant, gaffer, grip, script supervisor, and production assistant.
He has collaborated with celebrity beauty photographer Mitch Stone with photoshoot projects and produced behind-the-scenes videos for brands such as Beauty Factory by Mitch Stone and Nations Info Corp. In addition to filmmaking, Evan actively pursues photography, collaborating with other creatives and producing visual content for his growing platform.
