WHO WE ARE
WE ARE EAST OF EDEN
aka Tina + Ben, documentary-style filmmakers based out of NYC
established 2018
SHOW + TELL
BEN, second-shooter and editing wiz
// filmed by tina
to say that Ben is obsessed with surfing would be the understatement of the year. If he is not at his desk editing a cinematic piece of art for his couples, it’s because he is out in the water at Rockaway Beach (even if the water is thirty degrees). And when he isn’t surfing or editing your film, you will most likely find him in the kitchen whipping up the world’s best homemade fried chicken (bold claim, but true). And while we cannot make any promises that he won’t be thinking about surfing if the waves are good on any given wedding day; we can say with confidence that when Ben is shooting, you are in good hands.
TINA, lead cinematographer and manager
// filmed by ben
If she isn’t responding to your inquiries, you can generally find her on the sand with a camera in hand filming Ben or joining the surf at home in Rockaway Beach. If she’s not behind her desk or on the beach, she’s probably tending to her garden, baking or broth making. She is praised for her go-with-the-flow, peaceful disposition and creates calm wherever she goes which comes in handy on a wedding day. You can check out Tina’s photography work here to see her travels and work with local small businesses and surf brands.
