Today on the show we talk with speciality camera op and cinematographer Matt Joniec! We talk about finding work out of film school, how you get into special camera work, and so much more. If you've ever considered doing a behind the scenes role, this is one to check out!

Also, sorry, but Felicia's audio was recorded monotone so you may only have it in one ear. Just pretend it's the 1960s for us.
