You probably know by now that we wouldn’t even risk not talking about the unexpected yet glorious return of VistaVision, with none other than The Brutalist cinematographer Lol Crawley!
Brady Corbet’s third feature’s been the talk of the town ever since it’s buzzy Venice premiere and Silver Lion win.
Lol tells us not only about his approach to photographing buildings, but what makes his collaboration with Brady go, and we even try to define the undefinable: beauty.

Our coverage of one of 2024's most masterfully crafted films wouldn’t be complete without the mind responsible for executing its extraordinary visual language. So, with that, we present our breakdown of Nickel Boys, featuring cinematographer Jomo Fray.
Among other things, Jomo tells us about how he is choosing projects, the evolution of the film’s unique look, and the creative process behind it, as well as the subsequently obvious, yet unexpected challenges the team faced along the way.

2024's final episode features cinematographer Rina Yang, who joins us to discuss her work on The Fire Inside, the debut feature from cinematographer-turned-director Rachel Morrison.
In our chat, we dig into the challenges of capturing the inspiring yet painfully real story of boxer Claressa Shields, from adapting to the Flint, Michigan setting to incorporating different lighting techniques into the story and production.
Rina also shares insights on avoiding sport biopic clichés, creating an authentic visual language, and the connections between her and Shields’ journey.
