Had such a blast building this world for my favorites at @entertainmentweekly 🥀🖤 Starring the talent that is @summerhhowell. I cannot wait to watch her career soar - the versatility and fluidity she brought to this shoot needs to be studied 🪡 We really wanted to explore the inbetween - in-between your power and reality, control and vulnerability. So grateful for the amazing teams that brought it all together: Photographer @gina_gizella @_gzlla_ Photo Gaffers: @jamesswartzlight, Romel Espejo Camera Assistant: @fernponce Digital Tech: @mikeysantillan Movement Director: @judsonemery Special thank-you to @mikepecci as always for making my work better every-time you’re around.

Had the pleasure of collaborating with @gina_gizella on this epic shoot for Entertainment Weekly, and getting to work with Golden Globe winner and Oscar nominee Jessie Buckley. Gina and I designed the lighting to feel like a Renaissance painting, while pulling deep inspiration from classic Hollywood. Here’s a peek at our setup, and a huge shout out to @jamesswartzlight and the incredible camera team.

Wrapped this amazing film right before the holidays 🎬✨ It tells the story of two fierce women in a fading boxing gym in the 90s. It’s been an absolute honor and privilege to be a part of this project; from the story we told and the role I played, to every single crew member. 🤍 Some of the many very talented women-led team who made (and are still making) this film a reality: @jessess - co-star, @michi_111111 - Producer, @yvonne_themoon - writer & director, @nj_film_dop - DP, @emikojaneishii - action design, @waitwaitwayne - 1st AD, @emily_qiuu - casting, @yyyyyuanzheng - set design, @jamesswartzlight - gaffer, @mmmiaomiaoo - makeup, @yiwen_yyw - costume design, @tyhblacksheep - wardrobe, @bailinyann - editor.

Behind the scenes & final shots of ‘Courage’ Film Words from Cinematographer @mariocontini - “A few years ago when we all started to second guess our career choices in a film industry hurting deeply from the repercussions of a global pandemic, unfair labor and increasing uncertainty, I needed to find the strength to carry-on. So I made a vow to myself to work on more meaningful projects with inspiring people that have a positive message to share with audiences, especially our youth! Now, here’s a powerful story about identity and resilience! Written, directed and produced by my amigo and first-time filmmaker @ericmicha3l @couragethefilm tells the story of a young Native American kid struggling with self-confidence and societal expectations who finds transformation through his own traditions and the beautiful art of hoop dance! What’s even more amazing, is that it’s inspired by a true story! 💫 I’m still humbled by the talent on screen! Mateo and @terrygoedel are actually some of the world’s top hoop dancers! Their performances had us all like, “what the…how did you…?” @cara.jade.myers , @pjvegas and @chefpyet were aces! Mad respect to everyone. Of course, thank you to my amazing crew for their dedication to this project and for coming together as a unit! And mucho thanks to @panavisionofficial for supporting new filmmakers and blessing us with the tools to bring this vision to life! We shot Courage on @reddigitalcinema V Raptor [X] cameras with PVs rehoused Kowa sphericals and Vintage 65 lenses.” Director @ericmicha3l Cinematographer @mariocontini Gaffer @jamesswartzlight KG @gripcyde_j Elec @chris_nealy Anton Usikov Grip @milesschirra luis__18__19 B Cam Op @babyblackbrrrd 1st AC @mattykrab B Cam 1st AC @brana__gram DIT @dinogeorgopoulos Steadicam Op @steadijew Colorist @sderlug Prod @emmie.edmo.photo UPM @charliemedia 1st AD @adam_conte01 Composer @theonewomansymphony #learnfilmmaking #filmcommunity #lfnnetwork #panavision #filmmaking 15 Aug 2025

Here’s a great lighting setup from cinematographer @fiorella_occhipinti Via: @behindthescenegram The beauty/key light was 4x @nanlux_global Evoke 2400B lights through diffusion with a ARRI SkyPanel S360-C on each side with soft boxes for wrap. Lots of tungsten was used for backlighting the talent and side or 3/4 fill light the cafe and extras. Looks like a couple of Wendy Lights and maybe a 10k Mole tungsten fresnel. Flyswatter overhead to control the sun.

If you don't enjoy slow motion in B&W..... then I will disappoint you today. A very busy day for the team with building the hallway and an overhead softbox on chain-motor without a grid. DP: @mariocontini Gaffer: @jamesswartzlight KG: @ihavethedinero Another day where our smallest light, outside the hallway practicals, was a 5k. Being conscious of our budget, knowing we needed higher output and would be shooting in the hallway for longer than batteries hold up. We used @quasarscience for the overheads. #clt #setlighting #gaffer #aclt #bestboy #grip #lighting #cinematography #fashion 13 Dec 2023

Slide for the video! It's always fun shooting 1000fps with big tungsten heads. DP: @mariocontini CLT: @jamesswartzlight KG: @gripcyde #fashion #gaffer #setlighting #tungsten 11 Dec 2023
