Lori Stewart Tannis

Associate Producer, Art director, Production designer, Costume Designer

Lori moved to NYC 16 years ago to expand her knowledge of film-making at the school of visual arts. Lori has always enjoyed writing stories and has a knack for storytelling; however directing is her first love. Realizing that the film-making process requires a team, she began to take personal breaks away from the process. In 2009, painting became a personal outlet to de-stress. Her work quickly graduated from painting sneakers, shoes and purses, to more extensive abstract art.

Lori is an artist by nature, as she lives every day with art in her life. Her world revolves around creating sets and interior design, using Instagram in the morning and evening as inspirations to create her ever evolving story of life and art.

Daniel Patterson

Director of Photography

Daniel D. Patterson is a swift and proficient DP, developing a unique naturalist vision for each story he works on. His latest feature, director Spike Lee’s Da Sweet Blood of Jesus, closed the American Black Film Festival (ABFF) in June this year. 

THR’s John DeFore said of Da Sweet Blood, “Daniel Patterson's vivid lensing is one of the picture's biggest assets,” Variety’s Scott Foundas praised the “beautifully framed widescreen compositions of d.p. Daniel Patterson,” while Indiewire’s Eric Kohn said, “Thanks to ‘Newlyweeds’ cinematographer Daniel Patterson … the movie maintains a beautifully textured look.”

 

Patterson lensed first feature Gun Hill Road in 2011 and has not slowed since. His feature résumé also includes director Shaka King’s Newlyweeds in 2013, as well as documentaries Out in the Night, Evolution of a Criminal and More than Conquerors.

 

Patterson holds an MFA in Film Production from NYU and a BA in Theater from Morehouse College. His graduate experience helped him learn the trade; he went on to work as a camera operator under DP Ellen Kuras and Lee.

 

Working and traveling across South America, Asia, Africa and the United States, Patterson counts among his primary influences the inspiration of the natural world – a beauty extending beyond words – and the films of Spike Lee.
