Receiving the NFP grant from Panavision felt kismet for Places of Worship. In our first talks, I knew immediately that Panavision understood the surreal, sensual, and spiritual vision we were going for. Shooting in mostly low-light locations, they presented us with super fast lenses.
Panavision Chicago instilled an enormous amount of confidence in me; I felt like my artistry was treated with respect, and our team was granted such special gifts to achieve this project. While any story should be able to stand on its own, I know that the dreamy atmosphere we captured wouldnāt have been the same without the very specific tools we utilized. Taking the digital edge off created a subtle omnipresence to the film, which contributed to the religious and sexual paranoia I was looking to capture in this young personās life. I know me and the rest of the holy trinity (David and Katelyn) will forever remember this experience shooting with Panavision.

After much consideration we decided on the Ultra Speeds/Super Speeds for their soft, warm, and nostalgic look. We primarily shot the 40mm and 50mm as they felt right for the intimacy we were after, without feeling overly obtrusive. The 50mm Super Speed T/1 was integral in conveying the inviting aura of a certain Godly figure. Shooting close to, if not wide open, for most of the film produced a beautifully classic image that is rich in texture. Panavision was so generous throughout the process and really brought a level of expertise, as well as a sense of community that is truly one of a kind. They really took care of us.

Most of us went to film school together. We grew up knowing Panavision as the golden standard. Partnering with them elevated the experience for all of us and our movie is better because of it. I am honored Bridget trusted me with her story, and I will always be proud to stand next to David while he works. Iām so grateful to Panavision for believing in us!
