"Will Turner is a true collaborator. His positive, level- headed, adaptability coupled with his knowledge and instinct for capturing the emotional heart of our story elevated all aspects of our production. His thoughtful and calm approach, especially in the midst of challenging logistics, allowed us to more than make our days and meet our goals-- we found wonderful moments and tapped into the magic where all the pieces come together and the story comes alive!"

"I’ve been working with Will for quite a few years now. I attribute much of my success to the collaborations we’ve done together. Initially, I considered him more technical-minded. He was someone who always knew the answer or could always find the answer. But I’ve seen him grow. Grow into a genuine visual artist. Yes, he continues to be one of the most technologically gifted filmmakers I know, but now he is so much more than that. He sees lights and shadows and colors in ways I could never imagine. He takes ambiguous emotions and translates them into visual creations. All that aside, Will is a kind, caring and patient DP and friend. He’s a unique combination of compassion, passion and level-headedness. A rare man who I’d want in my corner on any project."
