A Cut Above Productions, an aerial-photography company based in Los Angeles. The move, says Green, “was an opportunity that I think filmmakers of every kind outside Hollywood think about. My wife and I packed up and moved to Southern California. My mom, dad and uncle were all very happy I had an opportunity to do something I loved.” The early 1970s saw Green assisting a lot, predominantly on aerial units, and working fulltime for Tyler Mounts. “Then, in 1972, there were huge layoffs,” he recalls. “The industry was in really bad shape, as bad as it is now.
