Trevor Forrest; Matthew Jensen, ASC; and Michael McDonough, ASC, BSC each tackled two episodes of this six-part miniseries, which tells the tale of the mysterious teenager Fauna Hodel (India Eisley) and the reporter (Chris Pine) who tries to help her unlock the secrets of her past. The cinematographers offer their insights into their collaborations with one another and with director Patty Jenkins for the period production.

The ASC Clubhouse

In 1936, after occupying offices at two different locations on Hollywood Boulevard, the American Society of Cinematographers moved to 1782 North Orange Drive, which is still its home today. As part of the magazine’s yearlong celebration of the ASC’s 100th anniversary, AC takes readers on a tour of the iconic building — and offers a look back at how it and its neighborhood have changed over the decades.
