On December 10, 2024, The Tiffen Company hosted Tiffen Tech Night at their Burbank location, welcoming over 200 guests for an evening of hands-on learning and industry networking. The Helen and Nat Tiffen Educational Center buzzed with activity as the filter and lens demo took (literally) center stage. Partners ARRI, Angenieux, Canon, and Cooke showcased their latest lenses, paired with Tiffen’s flagship cine diffusion filters including the new Glow Series which offer the unique ability to deliver precise halation to image highlights.
A major draw of the event were the five breakout sessions featuring renowned DPs Nancy Schreiber ASC, Shane Hurlbut ASC, Richard Crudo ASC, Sandra Valde-Hansen ASC, and cinematographer John Matysiak. The packed sessions offered a chance to get insights directly from these esteemed cinematographers, leaving the audience inspired and energized.

Attendees were also introduced to the Steadicam® Axis™, Tiffen’s newest lightweight addition to the award-winning Steadicam family that operates with an ease of a gimbal and the precision of a Steadicam. Demonstrated by Tiffen’s own Bridger Eberhart, guests had the opportunity to suit up and try the Axis out for themselves.
Andrew Tiffen, President & COO, closed the event by extending The Tiffen Company’s end-of-year gratitude to the industry, celebrating the resilience and creativity of the film, television, and broadcast communities.
