Listen Later

We are live, on-location at the TCL Chinese Theatre for AFI FEST 2023 (https://fest.afi.com) as the official podcast partner. These shorter, special episodes are with selected filmmakers.


In this episode we interview Adrien Hoppenot (Producer) & Natalie Jones (cinematographer) about their autobiographical film “BACKBONE”.They talk about technical decisions they made with camera, what it was like filming a chase scene with very few cuts, and the human limitations around carrying heavy gear. Work smarter not harder. This film explores themes of empathy and patience.
