DESCRIPTION: For this all new episode of Light the Wick, we’re once again chatting with master cinematographer Dan Laustsen, who shot “John Wick: Chapter 2” and "Chapter 3." This time we discuss the challenges of bloody squibs before moving onto his long collaboration with Guillermo del Toro (set to continue with this year’s “Nightmare Alley”), including a few projects that never happened. We then quiz him on several of his other projects including “Brotherhood of the Wolf” and “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.” Released July 16th, 2021.
