It all comes down to the story. You can have a beautifully shot film, but if there is no story, it won’t matter in the end. Focus on your characters first, then let the creative energy flow wild.

Lawrence Daufenbach’s Interview Continued
I enjoy watching all genres of films, however I am probably most drawn to dramas and human-interest films. The types of films that make you stop and think about different aspects of culture, society, and life. From a more visual approach, dramas also tend to allow for a more artistic and creative style. As a cinematographer, this is where I can push boundaries and create certain looks for a film.
“Trust” is a story that was co-written by David Schwimmer and Andy Bellin. The film takes place in a modern day setting and is about a teenage girl who is targeted by an online sexual predator. Liana Liberato plays the lead girl and Clive Owen and Catherine Keener play her parents in the movie. Much of the film deals with the aftermath of rape, and the psychological effects it has on the family as they struggle through the traumatic event.
If your curiosities have made you ponder what its like for a member of the film crew community, this interview goes plenty far in unveiling the mystery behind the quasi-esoteric nature of film making.
