Cinematographer Amy Vincent, ASC, is bridging Hollywood expertise and hands-on mentorship—from Los Angeles to San Quentin. Whether it’s leading by example through her work on upcoming films, A Nice Indian Boy in theaters April 4th and the Hugh Jackman/Kate Hudson-starring Song Sung Blue, sharing knowledge with students at LMU School of Film and Television (SFTV), or co-leading San Quentin’s first film workshop, Amy is a hope spreader. Her leadership earned her last year’s ASC Presidents Award, and as SFTV’s inaugural Distinguished Artist in Residence she’s preparing the next generation of entertainment leaders and storytellers.
