A few months ago, Lee was speaking with filmmaker Barry Sonnenfeld. They were catching up on a few things related to one of the Coen brothers films, and he started to tell me why he didn’t like HDR and why he has a problem with 4k. Intrigued, I continued the conversation. But, while he was ranting I asked him if he would come on the Dead Pixel Podcast and discuss it in detail. He agreed, and we had a very funny and frank discussion about both of those subjects. But that’s not all - we speak about his favorite lenses, moving on from cinematographer to director, shooting for Martin Scorsese and Penny Marshall, and so many other topics. Barry was the cinematographer for the early Coen brothers films including Blood Simple, Raising Arizona, and Miller’s Crossing, but also shot for Penny Marshall, Rob Reiner, and Danny Devito. He directed many big budget Hollywood films including Addams Family, Get Shorty and Men in Black. He currently lives in Vancouver and continues to work in both feature films and television. He recently released his very hilarious book “Barry Sonnenfeld, Call your Mother: Memoirs of a Neurotic Filmmaker.
