Hello!
My name is Kai Bestek. I am working as a freelance cinematographer, video editor and colorist in the film industry.
The focus of my work is always coherent to emotion and feelings visualized in vivid images.
I made experience in all kinds of projects: from fashion- , corporate or music videos to short and feature film sets.
