Branden Paris is one of the hardest working camera assistants out there, not just in Arizona but even in larger markets like Los Angeles and San Francisco. If you need him to climb a mountain with a fully built Alexa he'll be at the top with nothing but a good attitude and a great sense of humor while still maintaining 100% Professionalism. He's on time, always thinking 3 steps ahead so as a DP you don't have to worry about who's downloading media or keeping up on batteries even on remote travel shoots with 1000s of moving pieces. For smaller shoots, Branden is not afraid to lend a hand in other departments or take on extra responsibilities. He is a jack of all trades but his real strength is as a 2nd AC and Data Wrangler. Branden is experienced as a 2nd AC, Utility, production vehicle driver and Grip... He can even set up a pop up like no buddies business. If you have the opportunity to work with Branden... don't hesitate. Book him before someone else does.
