On Wednesday, Team Deakins speaks with former colleague and veteran location manager Kokayi Ampah (THE COLOR PURPLE, THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, MILLION DOLLAR BABY). Roger, James, and Kokayi reflect on the work that went into finding locations on SHAWSHANK and the creativity those locations enabled in the filmmakers. Kokayi shares his strongest memory from his time working on 8 MILE during 9/11 and speaks on his professional relationship with Clint Eastwood and the surprising answer to where they ended up shooting Iwo Jima for FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS. These are just a few stories Kokayi recounts; hear even more later this week!
