"Lighting is my first true filmmaking love. I have always been fascinated by the shadows that add mystique to our stories, inform our fears, and engage the viewers on a subconscious level. It's the one thing about filmmaking that still feels like magic to this day. As a gaffer, I've been able to work with so many inspiring cinematographers, directors, producers and crew members. I've learned to surround myself with people that have GREAT taste and cultivate a lighting (and storytelling) style that is emotional and authentic and ultimately entertaining; these collaborations have truly been my filmmaking education. I love the true craftsmanship of lighting, the physics of it, the shaping of it, the progression of ideas from theory to the tools and back again. I love that moment when all the prep work comes to fruition; all the references, all the discussions, all the choices. Our talent steps to their mark and there it is, that's what our movie looks like." ---ag
