As the new year begins, hosts Peter Pascucci and Ava Benjamin Shorr welcome guests Oren Soffer, former co-host of the podcast, and David Kruta, founder of Cinematography Salon. In 2023, the Salon expanded its reach, successfully hosted gatherings on both coasts, with holiday parties, panels, master classes and networking events, enriching the community's understanding and appreciation of the filmmaking process. Together they discuss how current events, technological shifts, and how personal developments have influenced their work and outlook on the future of filmmaking, and point to emerging technologies, shifting narrative styles, and the growing importance of diverse voices in shaping the future of cinematography.
