Geoffrey Orthwein, a photographer, independent filmmaker, and director, has showcased his work at film festivals throughout the US and Europe, museums, and on broadcast television.
He began his career in post-production, serving as editor and colorist on independent films and documentaries with acclaimed underwater cinematographer Feodor Pitcairn, including Ocean Voyagers, narrated by Meryl Streep. This collaboration led to the creation of Ocean Odyssey, a custom multi-screen film featuring a 270º wraparound installation at the Smithsonian Institution's Sant Ocean Hall in the National Museum of Natural History, Washington DC.
He then transitioned to live production, touring globally as a technical director for live shows with companies such as Google, Salesforce, The Walt Disney Company, T-Mobile, and Virgin. He also directed the web series Sword & Laser, hosted by Veronica Belmont and Tom Merritt, for the award-winning Geek & Sundry network.
Geoffrey and Andrew have collaborated for more than twenty years on scripts, short films, and interactive projects. In the summer of 2013, during a three-day weekend at a rented cottage in Los Feliz, California, the concept for Bokeh was conceived. They developed the idea into a feature script, cast the film the following spring, and completed principal photography in Iceland in summer 2014. While finishing the film, they were invited to join the Independent Film Project's Narrative Feature Lab in 2015.
Bokeh premiered at the 2017 Santa Barbara International Film Festival. Screen Media Films acquired the film, which was released theatrically in March 2017.
