## Caption

Cinematographer Todd Martin spent years shooting commercials, music videos and short films before stepping into narrative features with writer-director Lauren Hadaway's The Novice, which earned him the Best Cinematography prize at the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival. For his subsequent feature, the Guy Nattiv and Zar Amir Ebrahimi-directed drama Tatami, he worked with Panavision to find a custom optics solution that could convey his subject's mounting psychological pressure. In this video, Martin reflects on the leap from short-form to feature work, his approach to lighting spaces to allow for the dance between camera and actors, and how a lifelong passion for music continues to shape his creative process.
