Customer Reviews
Absolutely Awesome!
Hewlett is already making epic work as a Cinematographer out of London, sharing great knowledge and wisdom with friends, followers & complete strangers on Instagram, giving insight into the magic that goes on behind the veil of cinema and being rad about the entire process. Now he makes a podcast bringing all of that content to another platform where he can also have conversations with other like-minded people in the industry to share their thoughts, knowledge & opinions!?! Yeah... sign me up. You’re just silly if you don’t subscribe to this podcast. Carter... if you’re reading this (which I’m sure you are). Thank You - for your loyalty to this craft, your transparency to the industry and your tenacity to share this world with everyone willing to watch or listen. You’re a good man. Cheers!
