Lights With The Sun When He Can

Theo came to Kinora in 2014 from documentary, and still shoots like it: small, fast and patient, waiting for the light rather than building it.

On commercials he works on the large-format camera and anamorphic glass; on documentary, a full-frame body on the shoulder. He has shot fifty-eight films for us, from thirty-second spots to a fifty-two-minute feature on the plateau.
