Go behind the scenes with award-winning cinematographer Sam McCurdy ASC, BSC, as he breaks down his work on the series Smoke. In this in-depth interview, McCurdy talks about his collaboration with creator Dennis Lehane, the cinematic rules they developed for the show, and why he chose the Sony VENICE 2 to capture the story’s tone and texture.
He also digs into the heart of visual storytelling, how to make every shot serve both the narrative and the emotional truth of the characters.
