Oscar-winning "Sinners" cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw ASC explains why lenses are her starting point for every film, including her work on Sinners. From years of collaboration with Panavision to building custom lenses with Dan Sasaki, she describes how lens design shapes the emotional world of a film — and how directors like Ryan Coogler can instantly feel when it’s right. For Durald Arkapaw, the lens isn’t just a tool — it’s a character. #Cinematography #AutumnDuraldArkapaw #Panavision #Sinners #Filmmaking
