Show Notes
We had the director-cinematographer duo of Shōgun Episodes 1-2, Jonathan van Tulleken and Chris Ross, on the show back in April. Since then the series received 26 Emmy nominations, including two for cinematography. One of these nominations went to Chris, and now we're joined by the other incredibly talented DOP nominee, Sam McCurdy.
Sam has an impressive résumé in television, having worked on shows like Game of Thrones, Peacemaker, and Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.
This provides the perfect opportunity for Áron to pick his brain about choosing projects, transitioning between them, and even discussing Episode 9 of Shōgun, Crimson Sky, for which not only he, but also director Fred Toye received an Emmy nod.
