Join host Ben Consoli as he welcomes back Drew Wehde, the brilliant cinematographer behind The Bear Season 4. Drew dives deep into the chaos and beauty of shooting one of the most creatively daring shows on TV. From the philosophy of forgetting your work to designing lighting systems with 18Ks and Infinimats, Drew breaks down how The Bear achieves its raw, immersive style—and why sometimes, there’s no storyboard at all. Whether you're a seasoned DP, an indie filmmaker, or a Bear superfan, this is a must-listen.
