]]> We kick off a new season of The nsavides Podcast with Dan Laustsen, the cinematographer behind the critically acclaimed film The Shape of Water. The film marks the third collaboration between Dan and Guillermo del Toro. They also worked together on Mimic and Crimson Peak.

Thus far, The Shape of Water has received a Golden Globe for Guillermo, it won the 23rd Critics’ Choice Award for Best Picture, Director, and Production Design, and Dan’s work on the film was nominated for an Outstanding Achievement Award by the American Society of Cinematographers. Quite possibly the film will receive more accolades as we progress through this awards season.
