DESCRIPTION: It’s part three of our discussion with cinematographers Adrian Peng Correia (“GLOW,” “Kevin Can F**k Himself”) and Andy Rydzewski (“PEN15,” “Dollface”) as we analyze the various looks of the “Mission: Impossible” franchise. Adrian gives us his thoughts on the style of some of the later films, while Andy argues that “Fallout” is messier (in a good way), and we talk about the switch from film to digital for aspects of “Fallout” and how digital might change the franchise forever. Released March 18th, 2022.
