A conversation with Jayson Crothers

In this episode, I had the chance to talk with cinematographer Jayson Crothers. Jayson earned his Master of Fine Arts degree from the American Film Institute. His work spans both feature films and television, including series such as Cruel Summer for Hulu, Chicago Fire for NBC, and most recently additional photography on Margo’s Got Money Troubles for Apple and A24. Beyond his work behind the camera, he is a frequent guest instructor at workshops and seminars, where he is passionate about educating the next generation of filmmakers. We speak about life off set, the illusion of social media, burnout, toxic work conditions and working with toxic people, and balancing work with personal life.
