About the Filmmaker

Producer | Director Cinematographer

Errol Webber is an award-winning documentary filmmaker, producer, director, and cinematographer with more than two decades of experience bringing complex subjects, remarkable individuals, and untold stories to the screen.

Based in Los Angeles, Webber began his filmmaking career in Baltimore, Maryland, before graduating from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2008. His early documentary work took him to Zimbabwe as a cinematographer on Music by Prudence, which won the 2010 Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Subject. He subsequently served as a cinematographer on American Promise, which received the Special Jury Award for Achievement in Filmmaking at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.

Throughout his career, Webber has worked across documentary features, commercial productions, corporate storytelling, and international film projects. His work has explored subjects ranging from education, disability, and human rights to entrepreneurship, industrial operations, environmental infrastructure, and the people whose work shapes our everyday lives.

His documentary projects include The King of Trash, a sweeping story of war, immigration, entrepreneurship, and the development of waste management infrastructure in the United States and Vietnam; and Miracle Hands, following the extraordinary musical journey of young pianist Jude Kofie.

Webber's filmmaking is distinguished by an approach that combines cinematic imagery with substantive storytelling. Whether documenting the personal history of a business founder, the engineering behind an industrial operation, or the cultural significance of a historical institution, he works to reveal the people, decisions, and circumstances that make each subject compelling.

Through Webber Visuals, he brings this experience to organizations seeking professionally produced documentary and commercial films. The company specializes in commissioned documentaries, industrial and infrastructure films, corporate video production, museum and cultural interpretation, oral histories, and cinematography.

From initial creative development through production and postproduction, Webber approaches each project with the same objective: to create films that communicate with clarity, engage their intended audiences, and retain their value long after their initial presentation.

The result is filmmaking that serves a purpose beyond the screen, connecting people with the stories, innovations, and experiences that deserve to be understood.

Every project begins with a conversation.

The most compelling stories can arrive from a museum curator, an institution, a company, a family or an independent producer. We are interested in the story, the audience and what the media needs to accomplish.
