I am currently doing freelance production assisting, video editing, and audio production in the greater Los Angeles area. I am a graduate of the University of Chicago (BA '21) where I earned my bachelors degree in Cinema and Media Studies with a concentration in Media Arts and Design.
My name is Phillip Otto and I am passionate about creating compelling pieces of digital media that tell a story. Videography, Audio, and Photography are my biggest passions. I've been interested in these areas for as long as I can remember. Fueled by my determination to succeed, I continue to work towards my career every day. Even if it's for just for five minutes; I push myself to improve my technique, my creative abilities, and myself every day.
I am a people person and I enjoy networking with others and expanding my social horizons. I'm extremely outgoing with exceptional interpersonal skills; due to my ample social skills, I am commonly found in leadership positions when it comes to working with a team. I find myself to be more comfortable in a team environment, as I'm very keen to recognize a groups strengths and weaknesses, and I am capable of ensuring everyone on my team feels at home and empowered, whether I am the leader of that group or not.
I enjoy adventuring and being outside, as well as traveling and learning. I am passionate about uplifting marginalized voices and aiding in representation and visibility for those in need. I love a good challenge, and I continue to push myself outside of my comfort zone. I always strive to continually work towards my goals and expand my horizons every day, and with every new project.
