  • Is Hannah’s name Hannah Hanna? I live.

    Definitely a mainstay in my Horror podcast rotation. I like that the Hanna’s don’t always agree (I almost always side with Hannah), and it actually adds to their chemistry. Very easy to listen to! La Push, baby!

Interview with Patrick Ouziel, Cinematographer for "Never After Dark" (2026)
Q: What was your approach to the two-world lighting and keeping the tone balanced between tension and emotion?
We differentiated the spirit world with stronger color choices, experimented with hard light and direction, and used practical effects and mirrors to create dynamic lighting while ensuring the emotional core stayed central to the sisters' relationship.
Interview with Patrick Ouziel, Cinematographer for "Never After Dark" (2026)
Q: How did you collaborate with the director to establish the film's visual style?
We exchanged references, held sit-downs and ongoing discussions, produced shot lists and visual decks, and did location scouting—ultimately shaping night exteriors, the cyan ceremonial look, and in-camera lighting strategies.
Interview with Patrick Ouziel, Cinematographer for "Never After Dark" (2026)
Q: What exactly are you responsible for as a cinematographer?
The cinematographer handles camera choices, shot design, and lighting, working closely with the director to translate the script into visual storytelling, and deciding how scenes are photographed to convey mood and meaning.
Bonus Episode - Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me
Q: Is Laura Palmer a symbol of trauma that redefines the show's morality and time?
The panel agrees that Laura's trauma drives the film's emotional core and that the narrative uses dream logic and symbolism to explore cycles of abuse, redemption, and time loops rather than offering simple moral judgments.
Bonus Episode - Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me
Q: What Twin Peaks character do you most identify with, Jason?
Jason identifies with Gordon Cole as a proxy for his own analytical, nerdy enthusiasm and clear-eyed but quirky leadership, while also acknowledging that Cooper's vibe is in service of a more intuitive approach.
