Gordon Yu, born in Hong Kong and raised in New York City, became fascinated with cinema at a young age. Gordon was admitted to film school in 2005 and attained a Bachelor of Art in Film Production, focusing in Cinematography, in late 2008. He started his career as lighting technician and camera operator, and his versatile background and knowledge in filmmaking helped him make the transition in becoming an in-demand cinematographer. Although still in his mid 20s, Gordon has already established outstanding credibility in commercials, music videos, and independent films. His talents and unique style bring a refreshing approach to visual storytelling. His work "Here, Too" was nominated for Best Cinematography at The Chinese Film Festival. In 2012, the short film 'Home', where Gordon also served as Director of Photography, won both Best Fiction at the CUNY Asian American Film Festival and The Ledo Matteroli Award for Best Immigrant Story at the 45th Humboldt Film Festival. In addition, the short film Mama's Heart was nominated for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography at the 25th Annual Brooklyn College Film Festival. Now traveling primarily between New York and Los Angeles, Gordon hopes to further advance his career as a committed cinematographer by meeting other passionate filmmakers, and sequentially, assist them in bringing their unique visions to life.
