How do you visually transport audiences across three decades while maintaining narrative cohesion? Ante Cheng, whose breathtaking cinematography on 'Pachinko' Season 2 earned him an Emmy nomination, joins us to unravel this complex creative puzzle. Fresh off his recognition for the season's opening chapter, Ante discusses the ambitious leap from an already celebrated first season and the artistic freedom that showrunner Soo Hugh and new directors afforded him.
Beyond the technical mastery, Ante opens up about navigating the beautiful complexity of multilingual filmmaking, where crew collaboration becomes a cultural dance that ultimately enriches the storytelling.
