This month, our guest is director of photography Bill Bennett, ASC. His work has been seen by tens of millions of people, but if you've never seen his name in the credits before a movie, that's because the majority of his films don't have credits. Bill has made a career shooting visually striking television commercials for companies like Toyota, Honda, Northwest Airlines and General Motors (just to name a few). His most recent work can be viewed on YouTube (just search for "Bill Bennett ASC") or on his website, www.wfb4.com. His work is beautiful, sleek and apparently quite good enough to keep him a very busy cameraman.

This month Sean is speaking with one of the co-founders of the brand new Global Cinematography Institute in Los Angeles, Yuri Neyman, ASC.
Yuri co-founded the new school with fellow director of photography, Vilmos Zsigmond, ASC and is an accomplished director of photography, educator and film industry innovator. As a director of photography, Yuri is best known for his work on the breakthrough indie film 'Liquid Sky' and the neo-noir thriller, 'D.O.A.', starring Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan. As a technological innovator, he developed the 3cP system, which allows a director of photography to communicate on-set color grading decisions directly to the colorist, thereby avoiding creative miscommunication and costly mistakes. The system has been widely adopted and employed in today's film industry. Yuri also developed the curriculum for a course he taught at AFI for several years called "History of Cinematography", which led him eventually to the idea for The Global Cinematography Institute. The program not only emphasizes traditional cinematography but also expanded cinematography, which includes digital and what Yuri calls "virtual cinematography," training the directors of photography of today to also be directors of imagery for 3D worlds of tomorrow.

This month we are speaking to accomplished filmmaker and one of Australia's most talented exports, Oscar winning director of photography, John Seale.
Mr. Seale has DP-ed nearly 40 feature films and began his career as a camera operator, shooting for the likes of director of photography Russell Boyd and director Peter Weir. He has won 2 ACS awards, an ASC award, a BAFTA and an Oscar, and has been nominated for many more. His contributions to world cinema and cinematography were recognized in 2011 with a lifetime achievement award at Camerimage and earlier in the year, the ASC International Award. He is perhaps best known for his collaborations with visionary directors Peter Weir and the late Anthony Minghella, shooting modern classics such as Witness, The Mosquito Coast, Dead Poet's Society, Cold Mountain, The Talented Mr. Ripley and The English Patient, the film which gained him his BAFTA, ASC award and Oscar wins. His most recent film, The Tourist, is a yet another testament to Mr. Seale's extraordinary talent and vision behind the camera.

This month Sean is in conversation with Miami-based documentary filmmaker and director, Billy Corben. Billy first gained notice in the early 2000's when his first documentary 'Raw Deal: A Question of Consent' premiered at The Sundance Film Festival, making him one of the youngest directors to be featured there to date. He followed that success with many others, including the critically lauded 'Cocaine Cowboys' in 2006.
We speak to Billy about his film 'The U,' one of ESPN's "30 for 30" films which chronicles the championship history of the University of Miami Hurricanes football team. The 'Canes won four championships in a span of eight years — from 1983 to 1991, but not before shaking up the college football establishment with their enormous talent, salty celebrations and well warranted swagger.
