The American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) has announced the new season of its popular Clubhouse Conversations online interview series, featuring filmmakers discussing the art and craft of visual storytelling.
Moderated by ASC members, the in-depth discussions explore the cinematographer’s experience, as well as sometimes including their collaborators. Clubhouse Conversations can be accessed for free via the American Cinematographer website and through its social media channels on Twitter, Facebook, Vimeo, and Instagram.
