ABOUT DAMIAN TRAPP
I began my filmmaking career while studying at Georgia State University. Since then, I have produced numerous short films, music videos, and commercials. In recent years, my focus has shifted toward documentary work.
This pivot is reflected here on my website, where the PROJECTS page showcases my documentary videography and photography. It traces this journey from my first major documentation in Oaxaca in 2018 up to my more frequent documentary projects in recent years.
