A favorable review of my work as Cinematographer and the overall work of story telling by our director, producers and star from “Lunches with Mel”.
“The other thing to note is that the two characters are both the same person! The fact that there’s nothing cheesy looking here (aside from the costumes) speaks volumes about the technical skills involved in putting together Lunches With Mel. Maybe it’s not exploding planets or an 847 car accident, but to pull this off right takes a good level of skill. My guess is it was probably an easy feat for whoever put it together, but if it was easy it’s only because of the experience of the person who did it. Did I mention that there’s a mirror behind them for the entire scene(s)?”

Film Threat covers a great review of my work as Cinematographer recently on short film Directed by Alex Beh, “Lunches with Mel”.
An excerpt
“It’s one thing to set up a premise where an actor not only plays two different characters, but also plays them opposite one another. Of course they’re separated by a very real distance, in this case across from one another at a table, but the film brilliantly blends the two sides of the image in such a way that they can seemingly encroach across the table. As if the technical challenges here weren’t hard enough, the film adds one V9.0”>MORE layer of difficulty, putting a mirror on the wall behind the table, which serves to technically elevate the scene that much more; not only do you get the reflections of the same actor playing two different characters, you don’t get the reflection of the camera itself.”“As far as the filmmaking goes, this film is aces… Still, I’d like to see the filmmaking skills given more narrative meat to work with, because there’s talent here that seems somewhat wasted in this scenario.”
