“I knew that I wanted to represent both Miles and Mollie as people. Not as archetypes, or patients, but as whoever they actually are. So the thought of gathering their own photos and videos arrived pretty quick. I also knew that if we shot an interview I didn’t want it to feel stilted, rehearsed or detached, and so handheld was an idea I was excited by. In a sense this made things tricky for Michael but there’s something really honest about seeing a handheld camera pan to a subject. Other elements of the look were worked out collaboratively with Michael (DOP). He was a big, big help and had thoughts on angles, gear, lighting and lenses – all things that are super fun to talk about.”
