DESCRIPTION: This week we speak to Chiabella James, the amazing on-set photographer for “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation” and “Fallout” (she worked with her father, David James, who we’ve had on the show and is also awesome). Find out how the “Fallout” poster was designed from some of her images, what it was like working on Tom Cruise’s “The Mummy” and “Jack Reacher,” and how she felt being on set the day Cruise broke his ankle. Released August 28th, 2020.

SHOW NOTES: Here are photos and posters discussed in this week’s episode. If you want to see more of Chiabella’s amazing work, check out her website.
