Galen Murray
- DP and Camera Operator (Handheld, Buildup, Drone, Specialty Heads, Gimbals, Dolly/Slider, etc.)
Galen Murray is a Freelance DP, Camera Operator and FAA Certified Drone Pilot based out of Salt Lake City, UT. His genre-spanning 150+ credits over nearly 10 years include GLAAD award nominated documentary DP work on the Hulu Original “Mormon No More,” DP work on the upcoming feature “Masquerade Mixup,” 3 seasons on the A&E and Lifetime favorite “Escaping Polygamy”, and work with athletes and celebrities from Queer Eye’s Tan France on his series “Home At Last” to Hollywood A-Listers Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson to PGA Tour Pros Mike Weir and Tony Finau to NBA All Star Donovan Mitchell. He is also Co-Owner of Rotate Media and creator of the online community, The Visual Vagabonds.
A background in outdoor action sports and degrees in Broadcast Journalism, Media Arts and Entertainment Mgmt from The University of Montana led him finally to Salt Lake City, UT as he pursued his passion for story telling and filmmaking. Today Galen calls Salt Lake home, where he specializes as a Camera Operator in Film, Documentary and Commercials, with particular strengths in fast paced and handheld shooting and a knack for following and capturing story and emotion. Galen pushes his skillset and knowledge constantly.
He has used this drive to tell the stories of those who can’t tell it themselves, stories like the LGBT fight for equality in the LDS church, the FLDS and Kingston polygamist group children’s struggle to free themselves from the control of their fathers, and like the internal struggle of Influencer Moms raising their children in the public eye.
Galen believes the beauty and fulfilment of filmmaking as a career is the ability to master tools and technology to tell stories and combine them with beautiful imagery.
