American Society of Cinematographers Presents Clubhouse Conversations

The American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) resumes its popular Clubhouse Conversations series this month, featuring insightful interviews with leading filmmakers discussing their creative process. The online video conversations highlight a wide array of award-contending productions. Moderated by ASC members, the in-depth discussions explore the cinematographer's experience, and, in some instances, include their collaborators. Clubhouse Conversations are accessible on the American Cinematographer website and through its social media channels (Twitter, Facebook, Vimeo, and Instagram) for free.
