EPISODE 111 - PAUL SAROSSY - Cinematographer
Team Deakins speaks with Paul Sarossy, a frequent collaborator
with director Atom Egoyan, in this episode. Paul’s credits include
THE SWEET HEREAFTER, REMEMBER, and AFFLICTION. We learn how Paul
started by shooting news and what skills that gave him right off
the bat. Of course, we speak about his collaboration with Atom
Egoyan and learn how they work together. We break down a lot in the
film, The Sweet Hereafter, and learn a lot! He shares that he
thinks prep normally revolves around figuring out one thing and the
rest “you just deal with”. We also touch on his working on two
movies based on Russell Banks movies in a row, operating the
camera, working with a non-linear time structure, digital
technology as being subtractive vs additive, and the difference of
working in TV and on features. And much, much more! A great
conversation!
