"When I got on my first set, I watched what the cinematographer was doing, and at that level in film ..." — Reed Morano

When you work as a cinematographer, the actors look to you for reassurance. When you're lighting them, they can never think you're making an adjustment because of the way they look. If they are nervous, it impacts their performance, which impacts the story.

A lot of TV and film commits to one tone.

Most of the people I know in the film business here in New York, the moms and the dads, just take different turns working. So everybody's a working parent, and nobody bats an eyelash at it.

I really hate having to put 'female' in front of any title, because it puts us in some kind of weird category for handicapped people or something.
