Caleb says that Dario is "known for his vibrant and colorful lighting. Dario never needed a context for the sources of his light, he just made sure almost every frame was as spectacular as it could be.

Kubrick's sense for symmetry, for pace, and for nuances in sound and performance that catch the audience off guard, while never swaying from our trust in his choices, almost define what it means to be a great filmmaker. Kubrick was a master of cinema thanks to this great authority, turning the pages of a strange and beautiful book for his eager audiences.

To discover more about this extraordinary property, visit the link in our bio: Caleb Short, the writer, director, and editor of this film says "Janizca Bravo is a director who leverages humor with a touch of the uncanny, a director who's visual style both soothes you, and occasionally, quite intentionally, catches you off guard, some of her most beautiful frames include an ethereal halation in the light, where the highlights in the frame have a bright roll-off, and the movement of her camera is either quite structural, symmetrical, and playful, or, voyeuristic with long pans or zooms; she is such a unique, singular, and truly creative director who was an exciting fit for this larger than life listing.
