NEW YORK — French focus puller Hippolyte Charlut is quickly establishing himself within New York's fast-paced film and media environment. After three years of technical and artistic training at ESRA Paris, he continued his education at ESRA New York, where he began working on sets and assisting rental houses such as Vela Rental, helping him understand U.S. production standards and build an industry network.
After receiving his Social Security number, Charlut began booking paid positions as a second assistant camera, gaining experience across narrative projects, commercials and music videos. His technical reliability, precision and fluency with modern camera systems led to a transition into his current role as a full-time focus puller.
Now working steadily, Charlut is contributing to an expanding list of productions and collaborating with cinematographers across a range of formats — a trajectory that positions him among a new generation of technically driven camera technicians.
