Ursula Woods on Cinematography, Collaboration & Making Films with Friends
In this episode, I speak with cinematographer and film artist Ursula Woods about the intersections between her arts practice and her work in filmmaking. Ursula shares her journey from teaching into film, and how experimenting with analogue techniques has opened up new creative and professional opportunities.
We explore the value of learning through making, the rewards of working collaboratively, and the simple but powerful idea that film gets better when made with friends. Ursula’s perspective is warm, grounded, and generous — a reminder that community is at the heart of creative growth.
Themes: cinematography, analogue film, collaborative filmmaking, creative community, learning by doing, arts practice, regional film
