Filmmaking career

Indy Mogul
Griffin Hammond hosted the "Indy News" series on Indy Mogul from December 2011 to December 2013 as a way to touch on current news in the indie filmmaking world, while also providing a way to help indie filmmakers get their stories told.
Sriracha
An example of his documentary-style work, Sriracha was released in 2013 and has been called ”gorgeously shot” by the San Francisco Chronicle, and won Best Short Film at the NYC Food Film Festival. Hammond exploited the hot sauce's cult following and was easily able to crowd-source assets for his film, including music by Roy Magnuson, Liam Taylor & Si Pettit[3], and credit sequences by Dylan & Mallory Simonds[4].
GH5 Promotional Video 'HAND-CUT'
Hammond was selected by Panasonic to be a brand ambassador for their new flagship micro 4/3 camera the Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 because of his enthusiasm and historical use of Panasonic's GH series of cameras. To show what the camera can do, he shot a short documentary about the interesting uses of ice around various bars in New York City. [5]
