immediately and I just thought to myself, oh the irony. Can you explain the director/actor relationship during the shooting? This was my first time making my own project and because I was pretty limited, I decided to both direct and star in the short. I had my hands in so many departments, it was really difficult to remain focused and in creative control the majority of the time. I am so thankful for Steven, my director of photography, for really pulling more than his own weight during production and collaborating with me which was what really helped me remain balanced.
We have been deeply fascinated by your cinematography, in particular your use of natural light. What were some of your aesthetic decisions? Like I said, the collaboration and vision that Steven and I were capable of creating together was really what made Opportunity Cost what it is. We wanted something really genuine for the park scenes, so we thought it would be best if we shot at an actual open public park on a Sunday. It seemed like a great idea before hand but to be honest, after a couple of hours of shooting - we just wanted to get in, get our natural lit footage
