Select cinematographers and filmmakers will be invited by Canon U.S.A. to participate in the THR Behind the Lens interview series, speaking with contributing THR tech editor Carolyn Giardina about their craft.

Guests will get an inside perspective on the panelists’ filmmaking style, approach and inspirations.
