Originally intent on a career as a sound effects editor in New York, Heather Page was quickly captivated by the workings of the camera during a back-up stint as a camera P.A. early in her career. Not formally trained in cinematography, she learned her craft from the bottom up, becoming a highly in-demand focus puller, especially for her Steadicam work, and camera operator at a time when women in the camera department were few, especially on big budget studio projects.

In 2012, Heather was appointed by Texas Governor Rick Perry as Director of the Texas Film Commission. Re-appointed by Governor Greg Abbott in 2015, she used her platform to promote Texas as a geographically diverse, talent rich, and economically friendly filming destination until September 2017, when she resigned to attend to her ailing father. Under her tenure, Texas built a more attractive incentive program, and increased its incentivized production and job creation by more than 250% as the Texas Film Commission improved its programming, marketing and recruiting efforts.

Since 2018, Heather has worked as a consultant for the film, television and video game industries, helping productions large and small navigate production challenges, state and local governments, locations and facilities, incentive programs, a global pandemic, and creative content issues. She has also served as Consultant to Austin Film Society and Interim Studios Director to Austin Studios during the final stages of the facility's recent growth and expansion.

She still picks up a camera every now and then because she can't get it out of her blood.
