Today, on the latest episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we’re speaking with 1st assistant cameraperson Liza Bambenek (DARK WINDS, THE BALLAD OF BUSTER SCRUGGS, SICARIO) about the camera department. Liza shares the lucky timing that led to her joining the union and the brief struggle to change the pronouns on her application. Liza reflects on the evolution of female representation in the camera department and crews overall, and she shares how the Santa Fe film market has matured since its implementation of film incentives. We later learn what Liza’s favourite part of the job is, and we ask if she believes everyone needs to move up the grades to advance in their careers.⁠ ⁠ We hope you enjoy the episode!⁠ -⁠ This episode is sponsored by Godox⁠ Instagram: godox_global⁠ -⁠ #teamdeakins #rogerdeakins #rogeradeakins #sirRoger #bywaysBook #jamesellisdeakins #teamdeakinspodcast #lizaBambenek #1stac #assistantcamera #stillPhotography #visualarts
