Trenton Mynatt is a cinematographer and producer based in New Orleans. Trenton’s artistic sensibilities and the projects he chooses to take on can be traced back to the rural Ozark landscape he grew up in. Breaking away from five generations of farmers and emerging from a graduating high school class of 23 students, Trenton was able to attain a MFA in Film Production from the University of New Orleans. He is an active member of local 600 and has worked professionally in the camera department for the past seven years on major film and TV projects. He endeavors to articulate not only his personal experiences but also the essence of the rural lifestyle he cherishes through his work in film and photography. For him, filmmaking is a collaborative effort, underscored by the belief that community and fellowship are integral to the creative process. Trenton continues to work closely with the same producing partners year to year. His current project is the feature film “Quake Thunder Crack.” Trenton won Best Cinematography at the New Orleans Film Festival in 2014.
