LOS ANGELES, Sept. 14, 2022 - The International Cinematographers Guild (ICG, IATSE Local 600) will honor Emmy® nominated cinematographer Patti Lee, ASC ("Bob Hearts Abishola," "Superior Donuts," "Call Me Kat") with the ASC Mentor Award at the 2022 Annual Emerging Cinematographer Awards (ECA), spotlighting promising cinematographers and providing crucial exposure needed to succeed in the motion picture industry. The honor and a showcase of the 10 final selected short films will be presented at the ECA event on October 2, 2022, at the Wolf Theatre in the Television Academy's Saban Media Center, followed by a cocktail reception.

Patti Lee received her bachelor's degree from UCLA film school, and began her career lighting feature films, commercials, music videos, and television shows, working first as a set lighting technician and then becoming a gaffer. All during that time, she continued to sharpen her skills as a cinematographer on independent projects, including the Independent Spirit Award nominee, "Bunny." Patti got her first big break as Director of Photography on "The Bernie Mac Show." Since then, she has been busy shooting both single and multi-camera television and has received Emmy® nominations for her work on "Bob Hearts Abishola," "Call Me Kat," and "Superior Donuts."

In addition to her work as a Director of Photography, Patti Lee produced the Emmy® nominated feature documentary, "A Small Act," which premiered at Sundance and aired on HBO. The film was named by Roger Ebert as one of "The Best Documentaries of 2010."

The winning filmmakers, who have been selected from 108 submissions nationwide, are: Andrew Aiello, Green Cobra, Austin Scott Ahlborg, Lotus, Jac Cheairs, KENOBI: A Star Wars Fan Film, Morgan Gardiner, Molly Robber, Gregor Tavenner, Pleasant Canyon, Jason Chau, Sting, Michael Tedford, The Elder Scrolls Legends, Leonard P. Walsh, Kingsnake, Eric M. Hurt, Singularity, Allie Schultz, Your Monster.

ICG's Emerging Cinematographer Awards gives Local 600 members an opportunity to present themselves as directors of photography by submitting a short film with a running time of 30 minutes or less for consideration. The awards are open to any member of the Guild who is not already classified as a director of photography. The films are selected by a panel of ICG members from across the country.
