Roy Rossovich, FSF Loves the SUFA BULLET

Roy Rossovich, FSF has been sharing with us his current project using CINEMILLS SUFA Bullets! You can see his Instagram page with up-to-date posts on their shoot. Often times, they are in rainy conditions which the SUFA Bullet is the perfect application! The LED light fixture is water resistant IP 66 rating. [Read more about the light...]

Here are some of the BTS and captions Roy has been sharing! 

About Roy:

Growing up in Southern California Roy spent a fair amount of time on movie sets with his dad, actor Rick Rossovich (Top Gun, Terminator, Roxanne) which inspired him at an early age to want to work with production. In the early 2000’s Roy moved to Sweden to study graphic design and fine art. He worked several years with fashion, editorials, & beauty commercials before stepping into the world of motion pictures. His work as a Cinematographer now sees him shooting his fourth feature film and plenty of commercial work but that doesn't mean he has given up on the still picture. Fashion still holds a special place in his creative process and after the success of the Solo exhibition "Heartland" he is hard at work with his next big exhibition project which will launch later this year.

In 2016 Roy became a member of the FSF (Swedish Society of Cinematographers) and also was awarded the 2016 Hasselblad Masters Award in the Fashion/Beauty category. His latest work producing materials for the Hasselblad Masters 2016 book was presented at the 2016 Photokina and is now available as fine art prints.
