"The film truly found itself after watching an early cut with Noah [Segan, director] and our producers, when we had an open, organic conversation about pacing. I love working with Noah and our team — those discussions were deeply collaborative. "The next cut landed with a sense of confidence and clarity that was thrilling to experience, even watching it without the final score or sound design. At that point, the film’s internal rhythm felt locked, and the visual language revealed itself as more restrained, elastic, and self-assured than I could have anticipated during production." Premiering at Sundance Film Festival, The Only Living Pickpocket in New York sees DP Sam Levy team up with Noah Segan and John Turturro for a race against time through the Big Apple. 📸: @jnpck Read more on our website.

MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG — the film! ✨ In theaters TODAY! ⏩ Friday 12/5 ✨ 🎬Directed by @mariafriedman 🎥Cinematography by @samlevydp 🎞️Edited by Spencer Averick 📽️Produced by many wonderful people including @alecsash Rick Pappas @sfpofficial @radicalmedia 📽️presented by @sonyclassics ✨ A dream come true to shoot a film of Stephen Sondheim’s musical I’ve been obsessed with for years. ✨ Greta Gerwig introduced it to me when we made Lady Bird — the high school kids perform it in that film — and getting the call from legendary director Maria Friedman to photograph her revolutionary production was a true honor. ✨ Special thanks to producers @alecsash for bringing me aboard - @sfpofficial for making this all possible, and to Michael Barker at @sonyclassics for bringing the film to audiences worldwide. Most of all, thank you @mariafriedman for inviting me into the world of Merrily and teaching me so much. ✨ And the performances… Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff, Lindsay Mendez, Katie Rose Clarke, Reg Rogers, Krystal Joy Brown and the entire cast are nothing short of extraordinary. ✨ Go see it on the big screen — you won’t regret it!

🎥🎥🎥LINK IN BIO🎥🎥🎥 Sam Levy: A Well-Rested Mind and The Art of Invisible Cinematography Sam Levy’s body of work has helped define contemporary American independent cinema. In this episode, Levy pulls back the curtain on his methodical, deeply personal approach to cinematography, revealing how scripts, performances, and even sleep all shape his lens. Levy revisits career-defining moments with Greta Gerwig, Noah Baumbach, and Kelly Reichardt, and speaks on how technical mastery is often best used in service of disappearing.

Read more INSIDE CINEMATOGRAPHER SAM LEVY’S FRAME FOR JULIO TORRES’ FANTASMAS at link in bio. In the @streamonmax original series FANTASMAS (Spanish for “ghosts”), while the characters are not literal ghosts, cinematographer @samlevydp approached the filming as though they were. By blending in-camera techniques with DI tools, Levy collaborated closely with the creative team to faithfully honor Torres’ unique artistic vision for the series. Levy sought to capture as much of the supernatural look in-camera as possible, utilizing a vintage Canon 50mm Dream Lens and rear projection on set. Anything that couldn’t be achieved practically was enhanced by Harbor Senior Colorist @damienvdc during the DI process. Levy describes how “Damien truly grasped the poetry of the otherworldly effects and knew how to make them ebb and flow. He isolated bright elements and used Baselight’s halation tool to enhance them beyond anything I’d achieved before FANTASMAS.” Link in bio to read the full article, “The Spectral Vision of Fantasmas: Inside Cinematographer Sam Levy’s Frame.”
