My Professional Journey
Born in New Jersey, Dennis L. Flippin Jr.'s journey in visual storytelling began at age 8 when his uncle gifted him his first 35mm camera. His early passion led him to become NBC 9 News' youngest editor at age 19, following a film production trade school education and internship at 16.
As founder of Flippin Entertainment LLC (est. 2000), Dennis has built an impressive portfolio spanning over 25 years in cinematography. His extensive technical expertise includes work with leading camera systems from ARRI, RED, and other major manufacturers, allowing him to adapt to any production's specific needs. His work includes the Oscar-winning documentary "The Cove" (2009), and collaborations with sports and entertainment icons including Michael Jordan, Floyd Mayweather, and actors Michael Jai White and Danny Trejo. His early career highlights include working with Warren Miller and executing three successful Nike campaigns, which inspired the launch of his production company.
Based in Los Angeles, Dennis combines traditional cinematography with cutting-edge aerial technology as an FAA Part 107 certified drone pilot, offering both 4K aerial and 6K ground cinematography capabilities. He has completed six feature films and five short films in LA over the past seven years as Director of Photography.
