Evan Butka (’10 Photography)

Two crew members review footage on a camera monitor, including CCS Photography (2010) alumnus Evan Butka, working as the director of photography on the set of SLAY, a horror film scheduled for release in 2025.

From home videos to backstage at HBO, Disney, Netflix and more, CCS Alumnus Evan Butka has used his love of being behind a camera to build a successful career.

“Whatever I’m filming, I always want it to be the best thing possible.”

We caught up with Evan on the set of SLAY, a film directed by Kyra Gardner and written by Jimmi Simpson, where he worked his magic as Director of Photography.

Evan got his start at CCS, studying film and photography, and later sharpened his craft in London, Edinburgh, and Prague. Now based in Los Angeles, he’s worked on major productions like Euphoria—bringing emotion and atmosphere to life, one frame at a time.
