JAMES LAXTON ON MOONLIGHT
‘
To me a successful project is based on
trust. Trust in my colleagues from the producers
and director to the actors, the crew and the
equipment house to the editors and post house—
all collaborating to bring something meaningful
to the screen. And trust that following my instincts
is the best path to telling an honest story.
James Laxton has been universally lauded for his uniquely stunning imagery in Moonlight. He sensitively brings the viewer into the psyche of the characters, immersed within the lush Monet greens and salty blues of the Florida landscape.
