Blake Worrell

In 1996, the youngest sound designer in Hollywood was on the payroll.  At age 18, Blake Worrell was already working for the iconic figure Roger Corman, at New Concorde studios in Los Angeles. After working on several films and a TV series, Blake was then hired overseas to do sound for one of the first 3D animated TV cartoons, with the German TV network RTL. In 2000, he released his first album with great success and by 2013, he had performed in over 1,000 live concerts, featured in over 30 albums, produced 5 albums and had an estimated reach of around half a million fans. 

In 2015 Blake leapt in front of the camera and immediately got in to working on major film productions as an actor. Today, Blake has been recognized by the ACS (Australian Cinematographer Society) for skills in filmmaking.  He has also been recognized by AFI and AACTA for being one of the leading filmmakers who has been using mobile technology to its full potential.

Blake Worrell has mastered mobile filmmaking through his experience using smartphone cameras and won top awards for his mobile films.
