The Cinematography Podcast Episode 45 Cinematographer Michael Gioulakis Cinematographer Mike Gioulakis is known for shooting horror films like “Glass," “Split,” “Us,” and most recently the dramatic film "Under the Silver Lake." He began with a fine art photography background, taking film jobs wherever he could and getting a foothold with the cult indy film “John Dies at the End.” For the film “It Follows,” Mike and director David Mitchell wanted to create a retro, timeless look for the movie, heavily influenced by photography. He also discusses the meticulous storyboard sessions directors M. Night Shyamalan and Jordan Peele both have for their films. Mike is currently working on another M. Night Shyamalan project for television called “Servant.” Find Mike Gioulakis Instagram: @mikegioulakis Episode Sponsors: Hot Rod Cameras ARRI:Find your next job with Arri Ben & Illya lead off the episode with a discussion about the horror genre not getting enough respect, and how better horror movies are made when there's more political upheaval.

Om Podcasten

The Cinematography Podcast is the program about the art, craft and philosophy of the moving image and the people who make it happen. Your job title doesn't have to be cinematographer to be featured on the show. We interview a wide variety of filmmakers including, actors, directors, producers, production designers, editors, storyboard artists and those in related filmmaking careers. This is not a film school, more like a professionally produced radio program found on NPR, each episode brings an interesting perspective to an often overlooked and widely misunderstood craft. Recorded in Hollywood, California at the world headquarters of Hot Rod Cameras. Hosted by Ben Rock and Illya Friedman.
