DETAILS
Join us for this new Industry Event Series!
You're already familiar with our two ongoing series: Conversations with a Casting Director and Callback with a Commercial Director. This month we'd like to introduce our newest series: Behind The Scenes (of Making a Commercial).
We will have conversations with industry professionals in different areas of the commercial making process. The purpose is to gain insight on the specifics of their job, how they impact the commercial process as a whole, and how their role directly impacts actors. It takes a village, as they say, and we should be familiar with every member of our community.
This month we are so excited to speak with Byron Shah. Byron is a Director of Photography (or Cinematographer) for television shows such as Grey's Anatomy & Black Lightning, as well as numerous commercials and documentaries. He is super excited to chat with you more about what he does, how he tries to make you look good, and how you can help make each other's lives easier.
This is a private event, only open to members. It will be a small enough group to allow for a round table style discussion. This is your chance to connect and ask questions of someone with which we rarely get to converse. A good cinematographer can make you look like the hero, the villain, or like you aren't even in the room so let's all welcome him with open arms (or else, haha!)
