Looking for cinematographer so capture some interviews during a workshop. Ideal cinematographer would have lights, camera and audio covered and be able to film cinematically.

Looking for a collaborative, resourceful cinematographer for a microbudget, minimalist feature film shooting in Bridgewater, Connecticut (Litchfield County) - dates are TBD but aiming for late summer, 2024. The film is nearly dialogue-free and has one on-camera character, telling the story cleaning up in the aftermath of a murder he was paid to commit, and emotionally unprepared to deal with. Most of the filming will take place in a private family home that we will have full access to, and ideally stay at throughout the shoot.

Creatively speaking, ideal candidate is prone to thinking far outside-the-box in terms of composition and lighting style, and is very resourceful - needing only a few small, easy-to-rig units and open to leaning into a very dark, contrast-heavy look for the entirety of the film. It is not about creating classically beautiful or controlled images, but ones that evoke discomfort and we can hold on for minutes at a time to elevate the unease.

If interested, please send a quick message explaining why you're interested in a project list, and include samples of work and, if applicable / worth noting, some filmmakers / DPs that inspire your own taste / style.

Please Note: Start Date listed on job is to start developing ideas, NOT the start date of shooting by any means. We are aiming for a shooting schedule of 5-6 days, with a lot of prep time in advance - but prep work will be sporadic leading into shooting, rather than day-to-day leading directly into principal photography.
