A conversation with John Simmons, ASC

June 2, 2026 · 1 h 3 min

Show notes

In this episode, I had the opportunity to talk with Emmy award winning cinematographer John Simmons, ASC. In addition to his work as a cinematographer, he is also a photographer, director and artist whose passion for teaching and mentoring has made a lasting impact on so many filmmakers. He serves as co-chair of the ASC vision committee, helping to encourage and support the progress of underrepresented filmmakers. We discuss racism, inclusion, comparison, the importance of community, work and personal life balance, and work environment on set.
