Learn about the remarkable journey of a professional rollerblader's transition from acting to achieving recognition as an award-nominated camera operator! We are excited to welcome John Lyke to The FilmUp Podcast. John is an American actor and filmmaker from Cheshire, Connecticut. At the age of thirteen, his life took an exciting turn when his neighbor, Emmy Award-winning Cinematographer Bruce Taylor, became his mentor. Fast forward two decades, and John found himself as part of Todd Banhazl's Emmy-nominated cinematography team, earning him a SOC Camera Operator of the Year nomination. His versatile talents have taken him from stunt doubling for actors like Ben Stiller to editing for major networks like NBC, Hulu, and Netflix. John is also a big supporter of Foster Love, a non-profit that is dedicated to making the foster care experience better for the 430,000 children going through it. So he is dedicating this episode to their organization. You can learn more by going to fosterlove.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thefilmuppodcast/support
