Very few actors possess the level of versatility and underappreciation as Shea Whigham. From starring in indie gems like Wristcutters: A Love Story and Take Shelter to blockbuster franchises such as Mission: Impossible and acclaimed TV shows like Boardwalk Empire, Shea’s range is undeniable.
Last June marked the Tribeca premiere of his team-up with Carrie Coon for Jeffrey Reiner’s crime dramedy Lake George, where Shea plays Don, a white-collar ex-convict who forms an unlikely alliance with Phyllis, played by Coon.
We can also see Shea in 2025’s first major Netflix release, the miniseries American Primeval, where he portrays yet another vastly different character, Jim Bridger, a 19th century historical figure.
Shea and Áron dive into topics like taste, the parallels and contrasts between Don and Jim, the character work behind both roles, and the one question he just had to ask Anthony Hopkins while shooting Joel Schumacher's Bad Company.

You probably know by now that we wouldn’t even risk not talking about the unexpected yet glorious return of VistaVision, with none other than The Brutalist cinematographer Lol Crawley!
Brady Corbet’s third feature’s been the talk of the town ever since it’s buzzy Venice premiere and Silver Lion win.
Lol tells us not only about his approach to photographing buildings, but what makes his collaboration with Brady go, and we even try to define the undefinable: beauty.

Our coverage of one of 2024's most masterfully crafted films wouldn’t be complete without the mind responsible for executing its extraordinary visual language. So, with that, we present our breakdown of Nickel Boys, featuring cinematographer Jomo Fray.
Among other things, Jomo tells us about how he is choosing projects, the evolution of the film’s unique look, and the creative process behind it, as well as the subsequently obvious, yet unexpected challenges the team faced along the way.
