A 29-year-old student cinematographer was killed Friday when an off-road vehicle carrying a group of young filmmakers rolled over in Imperial Valley, authorities said.
The group, which included the Chapman University cinematographer and three University of Southern California film students, were taking pictures on a large sand dune in the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area, a California Highway patrol spokesman confirmed Monday.
Representatives for Chapman University did not respond to requests for comment and USC referred questions to the California Highway Patrol. While it is unclear what the group had been doing and whether the excursion was part of a film production, the death raises questions about whether safety protocols were breached during work a film project.
