  • Brilliant show

    Ben and Illya are so informed on the film making process that their questions are always spot on, and exactly what we fans of cinematography want to hear. I really enjoyed being interviewed by Ben about Late Night With The Devil. I’m not comfortable in the spotlight, but he asked such interesting questions that I was quickly at ease. I love this podcast. Get on it people!

  • Great insights!
