Trevor Forrest is one of the new wave of young cinematographers now appearing on the international scene.

His upcoming films include: Daughter of God, starring Keanu Reeves, for director Gee Malik Linton; The Girl in the Book starring Emily VanCamp and Michael Nyqvist; and director Rory Rooney’s Unreachable by Conventional Means.

Forrest’s recent television credits include: the Hulu original series Deadbeat, from Plan B – Brad Pitt and Dede Gardener’s production company, stars Tyler Labine as a stoner and medium-for-hire who attempts to solve ghosts’ unresolved problems; and director Patty Jenkins’ ABC and Universal Television pilot Exposed.

Working in Vietnam and Liverpool, Forrest shot director Stephen Bradley’s Noble. After screening at film festivals around the world, Noble won seven film festival awards at: the Boston Irish Film Festival, the Dallas International Festival, the Nashville Film Festival, the Newport Beach Film Festival, and the Panavision Spirit Award for Independent Cinema at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.

Forrest received recognition at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival for his work on the politically tinged drama Una Noche, set and shot in the underbelly of Havana, Cuba. At the North American premiere, he took home the Best Cinematography award for his visuals.

Directed by Jon Wright and written by Kevin Lehane, Forrest also lensed the comedy Grabbers, where a group of locals discover the only way to survive when bloodsucking aliens is to get really, really drunk. The film premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and opened in the U.S. in July 2013.

Forrest’s photography shaped tragicomic Huge, starring Noel Clarke and Comedown, directed by Menhaj Huda. A pitch-black horror piece set in contemporary London, Comedown focuses on a group of rebellious teenagers who are stalked by a psychopath.

His feature resume also includes comedy The Knot, written by Clarke, as well as a slew of lauded films such as the horror/comedy Tormented, a 2009 British Independent Film Awards nominee for Best Cinematography and Someone Else with writer/director Col Spector.

In 2006, Forrest lensed Bombil and Beatrice with writer/director Kaizad Gustad. Shot on location in the back streets of Mumbai, India, Forrest captured the feel of the city at dusk to set a fairytale tone for the film. He has spent roughly 200 days, to date, shooting all over India. Before Bombil and Beatrice, Forrest photographed TV dramas The Message and Made in China. He continues to lens commercials and music videos. His spots have won both the Cannes Lions Bronze and the D&AD Yellow Pencil Awards. He is a founding member of the British Society of Cinematographers’ Master Classes.
