SEE YOU NEXT SPRING | 500T & 200T 35mm “Shooting film is such a focused experience. There is no room for miscommunication. Every time I’ve shot on film, there is a reverence on set. I think it allows the director to be the director; everyone needs to turn to them, trust in them, everyone focuses on their role and trusts everyone else to do theirs. I think it brings the director and frankly the cinematographer back to the world of the film - away from the tent, away from the monitors, away from the objective tower. With this visual essay especially, the experience opened that space for my director, Lex, and I to have the quiet stillness we needed.” - Sam Jørgensen This short is part of our ongoing series featuring the @americanfilminstitute Cinematography 2025 Visual Essays. Each essay is three minutes long and the AFI Fellows were challenged to create a narrative without dialogue. To watch, tap the link in bio.
