#10 - DP Brent Christy

Today’s guest is Brent Christy, a cinematographer, and director in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Brent has worked on a crazy amount of projects and there's a good chance you've seen his work before, from indy shorts with the Film Riot gang, working in the electrical department in films such as Iron Man 3, and directing and dp'ing several feature films. This man can do it all.

In this interview you’ll learn about Brent’s journey into filmmaking, being an incentive chaser, how to work with others on set, networking with high caliber people, comparing and contrasting collaborating with talented directors such as Shea Sizemore and previous guest Justin Robinson, Working with basically no lighting package vs large lighting packages on the films Low Country and Snowbirds, balancing family life with pursuing a film career, directing and dp-ing “western adjacent” feature films, getting the completeness of your ideas on the canvas, how the good stuff is never easy, and the power of simple encouragement.

Brent is one of my heroes and it was an honor to hear about his journey in the film industry. Whether you know it or not, you’ve waited a long time for this interview.
