Noah and I got technical.
Noah talks about his first time using the Alexa.
We discussed a massive scene that involves a ton of puke!!
Noah talked about how he loved lighting the film.
Matt O’Leary, who plays Marcus in the film, is a hoot.
We talked about SXSW 2012!!
Noah and I talked about some of his influences!! (Noah’s got the best tastes in great cinematographers!!)
We talked more in depth about the great AFI program and we touched upon Wally Pfister’s (PSD Fave!) recent directorial announcement of his first feature!!
Noah is the first AFI son of an AFI Member that has become an member himself and I asked Noah about what makes AFI such a strong program.
