Bio:
Ron Egozi is a New York-based visual artist, photographer, and filmmaker whose work is rooted in documentary photography and a fascination with other cultures and ways of living. That curiosity was seeded early - by his father's Super 8 films documenting his sea voyages and the global shipping trade as a marine engineer; these film reels his father made, Ron projected on his bedroom walls, turned the world into something more accessible, interconnected, and worth chasing.
Since arriving in New York City in the early 1990s, Egozi has worked alongside some of the most distinctive voices in contemporary film, comedy, and art, including Lance Bangs, Trevor Moore & Zach Cregger (wkuk), Albert Maysles, Matt Mahurin, and Xavier Veilhan.
