Cinematography Salon
About this episode

On this episode of the Cinematography Salon podcast, hosts Peter Pascucci and Oren Soffer interview cinematographer Todd Banhazl, ASC about his work on HBO’s “Winning Time” and “Hustlers” starring Jennifer Lopez. Touching on the mechanics of bold decision-making and the necessity of exciting everyone involved in a project, this episode peels back the curtain on artistic integrity across different budget levels, the audacity to take calculated risks, and the power of working with like-minded collaborators. It's not just about chasing what's trending, but doing what feels right for each project.
