Keoni TeTawa Bowthorpe
Hailing from the North Shore of Oahu, Hawai'i, Keoni TeTawa Bowthorpe is an award-winning Director of Photography, Director, and Screenwriter. Making his beginnings in music videos, Keoni continues to specialize in fast-paced, flashy storytelling - with a passion for capturing the beauty of mother nature's creations. Keoni demonstrates a particular interest in ocean megafauna (Saving Jaws, Envoy: The Call), and fosters a special bond and preoccupation with sharks. At home in Hawai'i, Keoni was awarded the Andrew Carnegie Hero Medal after fighting an attacking shark off of a fellow surfer, and paddling the injured man to shore on his back - an event portrayed in HBO Real Sports in 2019.
