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 Robb Fischer (Co-Director/DP) about his film "FRIDAY NIGHT BLIND". This film is about 3 visually impaired bowling friends & the way they roll. They started filming in 2020 and was shut down during the pandemic. The film gives people of all sights a new perspective. Working with those in the film without sight, he was able to get so much closer. As the DP he wondered, am I being invasive? The cinematography feels immersive, like you’re on the team with them. A great mutual trust was formed between the DP/Director & subjects.
