#fbf • @lafleurjennifer “Last summer, I got to be a part of Jordan Peele’s newest film and it was one of the most joyful experiences on set that I’ve ever had. Jordan and his producer, Ian Cooper, have a way of making every single person involved in their projects feel incredibly valued and important— as if the success of the film hinges on each one of us in a vital way. It was such a gift to be amongst their grace and I’ll always be grateful to them for showing how brilliance, ambition, and kindness can all go hand-in-hand. (And the movie is bonkers-wild-wonderful. I can’t wait to watch it again and again just to peel(e) back all the layers.) Check out NOPE on IMAX this weekend!”

“Creative briefs are never brief. When you talk to an interesting director, it’s never something where they go, “I want this and I want that.” It’s more of an ongoing conversation. But from the beginning, it was evident that Jordan wanted to expand, to make his canvas bigger, to challenge himself, to understand what spectacle is, to shoot on the big formats for the big screen. He wanted to find the best possible way to shoot this story in an uncompromising way. He never said, “Oh I want to work with you because you shoot with the biggest cameras out there,” but he liked the fact that I’d worked on 65 millimeter.” Read more of HVH’s chat with @motionpictures (link in bio).
