I am looking for a Cinematographer for June 10th and June 11th for my short film "Heaven's Diner."
Heaven’s Diner is run by women of color who have taken justice against harassers into their own hands. They hire Lilah to walk down NYC streets at night to scout and bring back male catcallers to the diner. The staff then work together to kill and butcher the men into burgers.
It is important to me to elevate women and non-binary people in filmmaking. As a result, I will have an all female/non-binary crew, with a particular emphasis on people of color.
