Conversations: Oscar Nominee Matthew Libatique ASC // Cinematographer

This is a big one! A year ago, Erik and I were standing outside Paramount Studios after walking through CineGear and ran into Matthew Libatique. We asked him to be on the podcast and handed him our card. Incredibly, almost a year to the date, we got to virtually sit down with Matthew and talk about some amazing experiences being a cinematographer at the top of his game. 

Matthew has worked on nearly every Darren Aronofsky film to date, as well as the recently released DC Film Bird of Prey which is on VOD now. Another recent project is Native Son now streaming on HBO.
