We are pleased to share this mid-summer conversation with a very talented cinematographer, Mr. Mihai Malaimare Jr. Mihai has worked on an impressive slate of films since the year 2007, where he shot the first of three features for Francis Ford Coppola, Youth Without Youth. Since then, he’s lensed Tetro and Twixt for Coppola, The Master for Paul Thomas Anderson, A Walk Among the Tombstones, Nina, Sleepless, November Criminals, The Hate U Give, Jojo Rabbit, The Harder They Fall, and this year’s “Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty” HBO series. Currently, Mihai is in pre-production on Coppola’s ambitious feature, Megalopolis.
In our conversation, Mihai shares about his upbringing and education in Romania, how he began his longtime collaboration with Mr. Coppola, his approach to prepping projects, and how he selects filmmaking technology. We also learn about his collaboration on the amazing series, “Winning Time.” Thank you Mihai for sharing so much with us.
