Actress Maury Morgan (This Is Us, Superstore, NCIS) brought us the gift of this conversation with Stephen Campanelli. He's not only a director, but is one of the best, if not THE BEST, camera operator in the world, having won the Society of Camera Operator's Lifetime Achievement Award, and as Clint Eastwood's Camera Operator for the past 21 films over 26 years. In every one of those Clint Eastwood films, you're looking through Steve's eyes.
Not only does Steve have an incredible story about growing up and dreaming of working with Clint, his childhood hero, and making it come true, he teaches us about the camera department and reinforces that at the highest levels, most people are awesome, not assholes. Life is short and you want to create art you love with people you love.
Steve's latest award-winning film, Indian Horse.
