Conversations with the 2010 ASC Award winners. By Bob Fisher and David Heuring
For our February Awards Seasons coverage in ICG Magazine, Bob Fisher profiled the 2010 ASC Award winners, who are all longtime ICG members: Lifetime Achievement Award honoree Caleb Deschanel, ASC, International Achievement Award for feature film cinematography Chris Menges, ASC, BSC, Career Achievement in Television Award honoree John C. Flinn, III, ASC and Presidents Award Winner Sol Negrin, ASC. The interviews, all rich and memorable, could not fit in their entirety in the pages of the magazine, so here for the first time is the full text of those conversations with these four remarkable cinematic craftsmen.
600 at Sundance

We titled this web exclusive 600 at Sundance not for the obvious reason, but more because ICG’s massive presence (at the world’s preeminent party celebrating filmmaking of independent vision and spirit) feels like an army descending upon Park City’s snow-bound streets. From short films to competition narratives and documentaries, to midnight genre flicks and everything in-between, the sheer creative breadth of work shot and crewed by IATSE craftsmen and women is remarkable. Consider that the Guild experience meter at Sundance this year ranges from multiple Oscar nominees like Roger Deakins, ASC and Seamus McGarvey, BSC to a first time feature by Texas-based shooter Peter Simonite (Skateland), and a sophomore Sundance effort from Patti Lee, now returning with a documentary (A Small Act) that she both shot and produced, and was picked up by HBO before a single flake of snow has fallen on the festival. Of course having an army (or armada depending on how slushy Main Street becomes) of Local 600 members to blanket Sundance this year isn’t all that surprising: indie filmmaking is an arena filled with warriors, and not for the faint of heart nor craft.
