Can the look of a movie or series tell the story as much as the actors in it? Let's deep dive into the world of the dance of light and shadow through the lens of Emmy-nominated cinematographer C Kim Miles.
Kim's remarkable journey from the colorful bustle of Malaysia to the high-stakes soundstages of Hollywood will captivate you. Starting from being a humble grip to a sought-after industry visionary, his international perspective brings a unique flavor to projects like "Yellowjackets" and "The Brothers Sun," revealing how a diverse upbringing can deeply enrich one's artistic expression.
Imagine the adrenaline rush of getting the call to meet a legendary director like Robert Zemeckis overnight, leading to a whirlwind of anticipation and opportunity to be the DP in the Zemeckis film "Welcome to Marwen." Kim and I explore the mix of anticipation and disbelief that encapsulates these serendipitous occurrences in the film industry.
In this episode, we also discuss the synergy between a director and cinematographer as they sculpt the visual narrative of a film—as if in a dance, where every step is a frame and every turn is a new shade of light. Kim's fondness for indie projects, even after big-budget spectacles, underscores a heartfelt dedication to cinema that's driven by passion more than paycheck.
Join me for this masterclass in passion, perseverance, and cinematic storytelling that'll leave you yearning to create, connect, and chase your own dreams.
