    Tim Cragg - Cinematographer

    Today I’m going to be talking to the lovely BAFTA award winning and Emmy nominated cinematographer Tim Cragg. Tim has set the standard for how a lot of modern documentaries look and feel and has been involved with some of the most successful (both critically and financially) documentaries in recent times. From Netflix successes such as The Deepest Breath and Beckham and HBO & SKY BAFTA nominated David Holmes: The boy who lived, to that rare beast, a documentary box office smash with Three identical Strangers, which we discuss in the show.
