MATTHEW LIBATIQUE : Proudly Pinoy & Director of Photography of IRON MAN Starring ROBERT DOWNEY, JR.

I was watching Disc 2 of the 2-Disc Collector's Edition of IRON MAN featuring the behind-the-scenes making of IRON MAN starring Robert Downey, Jr., I saw a Pinoy looking guy handling the Panavision cameras, he's Matthew Libatique. With just a few clicks on Yahoo search and there you have it, he's a true blooded Pinoy whose parents migrated from the Philippines to New York city. He's the Cinematographer or the Director of Photography in Marvel's IRON MAN.
