Docuseries are gaining more popularity due to the initiative of some filmmakers to use the storytelling format. Alan Jacobsen is a cinematographer who works on narrative and documentary projects with an authentic, natural eye and sensitive curiosity. His camera work is masterful, intuitive and intimate, capturing the sensory story in each powerful frame. He studied film at New York University and minored in architecture and urban studies, which gives him a full spectrum of how to think of a frame in a scene. After school, he worked for several years as a technician in the electrical department until he found documentary cinematography as a place to develop his full potential. Alan gained recognition in 2018 for Strong Island, which was nominated for the 2018 Academy Award for Best Documentary and won the 2018 Emmy Award for Outstanding Merit in Documentary Film.
