Summary

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 202 Christina Alexandra Voros - Director / Cinematographer

In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with director and cinematographer Christina Alexandra Voros (DUTTON RANCH, THE MADISON, YELLOWSTONE). A graduate of the NYU film program (Season 1, Episode 104), Christina discovered cinematography and directing while at school, and she walks us through her formative years there. After working her way through documentaries and features, Christina found steady work directing and shooting shows within the Taylor Sheridan universe, and we discuss the unique working conditions of those series and how she approaches doing two jobs at once. She reflects on what she brings to narrative films and series from her time in documentaries, and we discuss the flexibility one has when you're both the director and the cinematographer. We later learn up to five cameras can be rolling at once on a show like THE MADISON and DUTTON RANCH, and Christina helps us understand how you can direct a scene with so much simultaneous coverage.

0:47.3	Is this something you always thought you wanted to do?
0:51.3	Did you take pictures as a kid? Or did you go in a different direction and then
0:58.0	find this later? What's your story? It's a very circuitous story. I still am scratching my head
1:04.6	as to exactly how I got here. As a kid, I grew up knowing I wanted to be an artist. My mom was an artist. My dad was an avid reader and lover of
1:17.2	films. And my first love was painting and theater. As a kid through high school, I was convinced
1:23.5	I wanted to be an actor when I grew up. And when I graduated college, I studied English in college
1:30.3	and spent all of my free time acting in theater productions. And I decided to apply to graduate
1:36.4	school for theater, much to my parents' chagrin. And in the process of doing that, a friend of
1:42.2	mine suggested I applied a film school. and I thought it was ludicrous.
1:46.1	You know, there had been a film department at my university, and I had no interest.
1:52.6	I had no inclination.
1:54.2	I didn't think, I certainly never thought myself capable of being a director, even in the theater.
1:59.9	But I knew that I love to tell stories.
2:02.1	And so I found myself, I applied to NYU film, partially because the application was kind of fun.
