Krono Lescano is a video editor and second assistant camera based between Miami and Trinidad. His first and true love is photography — but so is his wife. He is a father and loyal friend. He has zero awards, but will always come for the steak and leave with the cow. He did not use Chat-GPT or any A.I. service to compose any of this bio.

“I’m not the best at what I do. But, with complete confidence, I can say there hasn’t been a single set, project, or opportunity, where I haven’t given my absolute best. Easy job, long job, small job — my effort is the same. I value the ability to create and learn as much as the privilege of being able to do it alongside others. And when it’s all said-and-done, the only thing that matters is that the people I worked with be like Steely Dan and say let’s ‘do it again.’

Stay gold.”
