<p>Joining us this week is Zach Kuperstein, a New York-based cinematographer known for his work on "Barbarian" and his collaboration with Anna Kendrick on her highly anticipated directorial debut, "Woman of the Hour". Zach sits down with host David Kruta to discuss why he’s running for office in Local 600, breaking down contract negotiations, leadership stagnation, and why democratic engagement among union members matters now more than ever. With elections looming, Kuperstein outlines a progressive campaign for union leadership - and why the status quo is no longer sustainable for working camera professionals.</p><p>If you are enjoying the podcast, please consider supporting our efforts on <a href="https://www.patreon.com/cinematographysalon" target="_blank">Patreon</a>.</p><p>Zach Kuperstein’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/zachkuperstein/">Instagram</a> | <a href="http://zachkuperstein.com/" target="_blank">Website</a></p><p>CREW’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/iatsecrew">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.iatsecrew.com/" target="_blank">Website</a></p><p>David Kruta’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dkruta">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.davidkruta.com/" target="_blank">Website</a></p><p><strong>This episode is sponsored by </strong><a href="https://fujifilm-x.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Fujifilm</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href="https://www.westerndigital.com/brand/sandisk" target="_blank"><strong>Sandisk</strong></a><strong> and </strong><a href="https://www.tcpinsurance.com/" target="_blank"><strong>TCP Insurance</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p>

<p>Sam Levy’s body of work has helped define contemporary American independent cinema. In this episode, Levy pulls back the curtain on his methodical, deeply personal approach to cinematography, revealing how scripts, performances, and even sleep all shape his lens. Levy revisits career-defining moments with Greta Gerwig, Noah Baumbach, and Kelly Reichardt, and speaks on how technical mastery is often best used in service of disappearing. </p><p>If you are enjoying the podcast, please consider supporting our efforts on <a href="https://www.patreon.com/cinematographysalon" target="_blank">Patreon</a>.</p><p>Sam Levy’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/samlevydp/">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://samlevydp.com/" target="_blank">Website</a></p><p>Peter Pascucci’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/laurenguiteras">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.laurenguiteras.com/" target="_blank">Website</a></p><p>Ava Benjamin Shorr’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ava.benjamins/">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.avabenjamin.com/" target="_blank">Website</a></p><p><strong>This episode is sponsored by </strong><a href="https://fujifilm-x.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Fujifilm</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href="https://www.westerndigital.com/brand/sandisk" target="_blank"><strong>Sandisk</strong></a><strong> and </strong><a href="https://www.tcpinsurance.com/" target="_blank"><strong>TCP Insurance</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p>
