Today, we sit down with writer-director Charlie Polinger and cinematographer Steven Breckon to talk about ‘The Plague.’ They share the origins of their creative partnership and how Charlie’s personal experiences shaped the story’s themes.
We dig into the technical challenge of underwater cinematography and what it brought to the film’s visual storytelling. Our conversation also explores working with child actors on such heavy material from both their perspectives as director and cinematographer.
At the end, they tease their next collaboration, an adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s ‘The Masque of the Red Death,’ currently in production.
