Next week, Team Deakins chats with groundbreaking location manager Kokayi Ampah (THE COLOR PURPLE, THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, MILLION DOLLAR BABY). Kokayi shares his journey to becoming the first African-American union location manager and the impressive career in feature filmmaking that followed. Kokayi speaks on the ever-evolving role of location management and the unique skillset he developed that enabled him to work with filmmakers such as Steven Spielberg, John Singleton, and Clint Eastwood (just to name a few!). Kokayi has a lot to share, so listen next week!⁠
