Emily Hope: the opening scene

Emily Hope is a vérité documentary about motherhood and terminal illness that I have been making for several years. This is the opening scene.

I am sharing it here because it is the clearest example of what I mean when I say I am a documentary cinematographer first. No lights, no second takes, no interviews. Just being in the room long enough that the room forgets you, and having the patience to wait for the moment instead of manufacturing it.

The film is in post-production. More when there is more.
