Chuck Cohen has been a Director of Photography for over 35 years. His long form documentary on Hank Aaron, "Chasing the Dream", was nominated for an Academy Award and an Emmy in 1996. He has filmed everything from Olympics Games to Super Bowls, TV shows, commercials and feature films. In fact, he has worked on a number of Academy Award winning films. Shooting as either a First or 2nd Unit DP, some of the successful films he's had the honor of working on include AS GOOD AS IT GETS, JERRY MAGUIRE, ANY GIVEN SUNDAY, TRAINING DAY, VARSITY BLUES, ALMOST FAMOUS, LOVE DON'T COST A THING, STOP-LOSS, Taylor Hackford's LOVE RANCH, THE MIGHTY MACS, and the cult classic STARK RAVING MAD.

Chuck has filmed some of the most innovative, dynamic and exciting sports action ever produced in movies. His creative shooting style puts you, the viewer, right inside the fast paced and sometimes extremely violent action. The list includes ANY GIVEN SUNDAY, JERRY MAGUIRE, THE WATERBOY, VARSITY BLUES, SEMI-PRO, THE PROGRAM, WHITE MEN CAN'T JUMP, WITHOUT LIMITS, DAYS OF THUNDER, EVERYBODY'S ALL-AMERICAN, LITTLE GIANTS, among others. Chuck began his career filming documentaries, commercials, personality/team profiles, and game action for NFL FILMS, NBA ENTERTAINMENT, MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PRODUCTIONS, NCAA PRODUCTIONS; and production company's that packaged sports programming for the networks like the "Hawaiian Ironman Triathalon" & "Survival of the Fittest". He also filmed segments for news magazine shows including "60-Minutes", "20/20", and "Frontline".

As a film cameraman, he would have the "best seat in the house" for pro and college sports events and always brought along his still camera to grab some amazing images when he had the opportunity. Some of those captured moments you can see here in his various sports galleries, including images from Olympics Games, NFL/NBA Games, US Open Tennis Championships, and more. Chuck was in charge of the 65-person camera crew for the filming of the 1984 LOS ANGELES OLYMPICS MOVIE "16 DAYS OF GLORY". He has filmed three different Olympics Games and other international sports competitions.
