The Brandon Lee Cox interview, 1917 and Don't F**k with Cats

Whether you listened to us on the mighty Radio NL 610 AM last night or not, this is a podcast From The Basement you're not gonna want to miss. For one, we interviewed cinematographer Brandon Lee Cox about the art of cinematography, his career, and his new movie, Line of Duty, with director Steven C. Miller.

Brandon Lee Cox films The Turning of The Gentleman

It's the weekend once again, and that means it's time to check out what's worth your time and hard-earned buck when it comes to your entertainment options. As always, Jason and Shawn provide that -- and a whole lot more -- for you when From The Basement hits the Radio NL 610 AM airwaves at 6:05 tonight! For starters, Jason interviewed director of photography Brandon Lee Cox, who's filmed such action flicks as Line of Duty, Marauders, First Kill and Extraction,  and worked alongside actors like Bruce Willis, Aaron Eckhart, Dave Bautista and more.

Wondering what to watch on the big screen? How about the latest adaptation of Henry James's The Turn of the Screw, only this time it's called The Turning.

Brandon Lee Cox directs his photography at The Basement

One of the most important aspects of any film is cinematography. Let's face it, film is a visual medium, and the cinematographer -- or director of photography (DOP) -- is the one who makes the pictures work. Brandon Lee Cox (above, on the right) cut his teeth as DOP on everything from music videos to feature films, his most recent being Line of Duty for director Steven C. Miller. Yup, we're still pimping that movie... because it deserves it! I just got off the horn with Brandon, and we had a great chat about his career, what it takes to make a movie look so good, and how integral the relationship between a DOP and director is. And we talk about his influences, inspirations and how he got into this line of work. It's a great chat about an import part of the filmmaking process. When do you get to hear it? We will unleash or conversation with Brandon on Friday, Jan. 24, at 6:05 P.M., only on Radio NL 610 AM Kamloops.
