Quyen Tran, ASC, on directing and shooting episodes of the Netflix limited series Maid

Cinematographer Quyen Tran, ASC enjoys telling stories that are compelling, have impact and meaning. Shooting and directing Maid was incredible, and incredibly challenging. It was very scary for her to even consider directing on the show. But she knew she could do it because she was so familiar with the characters and the story.

Greig Fraser, ASC, ACS on Dune, using digital technology, working with director Denis Villeneuve and director Kathryn Bigelow

For cinematographer Greig Fraser, the characters in the movie draw him to every film project. On Dune, Greig and director Denis Villeneuve shot on digital, then output to film, and then back to digital to get the look they wanted. Greig and the crew worked hard to get the lighting exactly correct for the most realistic green screen backgrounds.

Seamus McGarvey ASC, BSC on the musical adaptation of Cyrano, shooting in Sicily during the pandemic and on an active volcano

The new musical Cyrano is based on the stage play by Erica Schmidt. Director Joe Wright used the play as a guide for what the film should look like, and hired his frequent collaborator, Seamus McGarvey as the cinematographer. Most of the town of Noto, Sicily became the entire set- the locations were all real houses and buildings.
