The April issue offers a special focus on lighting, with a piece on art that inspires and another on the lighting of WandaVision. We also present a look at a live-comedy shoot, a feature shot and released during the pandemic, and a cinematographer-director partnership — as well as a guide to lens testing and a report on the Society’s Future Practices Committee. See our full slate below:
