about mikey
Hi! I’m Mikey Chun, and I’m a cinematographer and editor based in L.A.
Every time I go to the dentist, he asks me the same question every time: “Do you wanna go by Mike, Michael, or Mikey?” Every time, I give him the same answer.
Mike sounds like a 40-year-old white guy who likes to wear Tommy Bahama unironically. Michael has too much formality for my personality. Mikey is the right amount of liveliness to match who I am.
So I hope that as you browse the website that has my name plastered all over it, you can get a good view as to who I really am.
